The Affordable Housing SPD outlines Leeds City Council’s proposed requirements for the provision of affordable housing on planning applications submitted for residential development.
The SPD, once formally adopted, will replace the existing Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) on Affordable Housing, ie. the proposals in the SPD will not apply until the plan is formally adopted. The existing informal housing policy and supplementary planning guidance remain until then.
Earlier considerations
The Initial Issues Report explained the work that has been done to date, the draft timetable for the SPD and what issues the SPD will cover.
Current Consultation on the Draft Plan
As part of the Local Development Framework (LDF), Leeds City Council undertook formal consultation on the Draft Affordable Housing SPD and accompanying Sustainability Appraisal.
The Sustainability Appraisal has assessed the Draft SPD against environmental, social and economic effects which would result from applying the SPD.
The public consultation closed on 7th November 2008.
