Representation Summary:
Page 53. The document makes no mention of the current financial situation and that is understandable. However the financial restraints which will impact on social housing providers are going to make social housing provision very difficult in the short/medium term to the extent that affordable housing tenure is almost an irrelevance. There is no mention otherwise of the whole question of affordable housing and I would have expected some discussion on the matter of on site versus off site provision. In addition the Council will now have to deal very carefully with developers pleading poverty in relation to affordable housing, s106 requirements, etc.
