New affordable homes
Our commitment to providing affordable housing for local people
We are committed to providing affordable housing for local people by working with housing associations and private developers.
For example we normally require developers to build 30% affordable housing on new developments, where viable. For smaller sites in villages (six to ten homes), this may be in the form of a commuted sum payment for providing housing off-site.
Other schemes sometimes receive funding from government's Homes England - this can lead to sites with 100% affordable housing.
Our target for affordable homes is 40 homes per year.
