Affordable housing
Planning for housing
When developers apply for planning permission to build new homes, we can ask them to contribute to measures that will benefit the wider community before we give them the go-ahead.
We may ask them to contribute to new roads, or provide open spaces for instance. And we can tell them that they need to work with us so some of the homes they build can be available as affordable housing for people who don't have high incomes.
