Rising house prices are inhibiting access to housing for increasing numbers of households almost everywhere. It is understandable that many local planning authorities have demanding standards for affordable housing in new developments.
I can offer:
negotiation with local planning authorities on what provision of affordable housing is appropriate and/or economic for a site.
advice on maximising site value by developing proposals that will improve both development economics and the delivery of affordable housing.
support for developers and registered social landlords in devising workable arrangements that will satisfy the terms of s106 agreements;
the development of affordable housing policy for local planning authorities at both local development document and supplementary planning document levels.
assistance with the critical analysis of emerging affordable housing policy, for landowners and developers, including its testing at examinations for soundness.
training for Councillors and officers on affordable housing issues (see training and support page).
