Draft Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document
| The Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document was adopted in May 2022. |
The Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) will provide guidance on the implementation of the Council’s planning policies related to affordable housing and will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. Upon adoption the SPD will replace the following existing guidance documents:
- Supplementary Planning Guidance 2 Affordable Housing (July 2004) – this relates to the former Suffolk Coastal area, and;
- Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (May 2012) – this relates to the former Waveney local planning authority area.
The SPD has been drafted following an initial consultation that was held in November and December 2020 under which views were sought on the scope and content of the SPD. The Initial Consultation Statement explains how the comments received have been taken into account in drafting the SPD. The current consultation asks for views on the draft Supplementary Planning Document.
Comments must be received by 5pm on Monday 13th December 2021.
