Craven District Council : Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document

Such information shall include details of the number of residential units, the mix of units and the proposed tenure. If different levels or types of affordability or tenure are proposed for different units this should be clearly and fully explained. Where a financial contribution in lieu of onsite affordable housing is proposed, the Affordable Housing Statement should clearly state this as well as the reasons why this is considered acceptable.

Where the applicant considers the development will not support the level of affordable housing required under the Councils polices then a Viability Assessment will be required.
