Affordable housing SPD

Affordable Housing SPD - adopted March 2010 [PDF, 0.7MB]

This SPD was adopted by us to provide guidance to support Development Plan Documents that have now been replaced by the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan 2018. This document is still a material consideration when making planning decisions.

What is the Affordable Housing SPD?

The Affordable Housing SPD adds to the affordable housing policies included in the Development Control Policies Development Plan Document (DPD).

These policies are to make sure there's the right level, mix and size of affordable housing, including on rural exceptions sites.

It helps applicants and agents prepare development proposals to ensure the affordable housing proposed meets the right standards and pricing

We adopted the Affordable Housing SPD on 2 March 2010.
