Can you give me an overview of policies relating to affordable housing requirements from both the national and local level?
National Policies: The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) outlines several key points regarding affordable housing. It expects local authorities to identify the housing requirement for their areas, ensuring at least 10% of homes in major developments are for affordable home ownership, unless a higher need is identified or it prejudices meeting specific group needs (NPPF 2023, Sections 64-67). Exceptions include developments exclusively for affordable housing or those on rural exception sites. Additionally, any reuse or redevelopment of brownfield sites may reduce the affordable housing contribution proportionally (NPPF 2023, Section 66).
