HBF objects to the removal of the reference to a variation if there are impacts upon a proposal’s financial viability. By removing this wording, you are removing the clear statement that the requirement for afordable home sis flexible and can be negotiated where a reason based on viability can be shown.

Not all potential costs have been accounted for in the high-level viability, which sets the affordable requirement percentages; an example of this would be the impact of the current Nitrates position in the County. Note the reference in MAC033 INF1: Planning Obligations

Noted. Reference is made to the new paragraph set out within AHOM1 (MAC023) which makes provision for the affordable housing target percentage within the policy to be a target to be used as a starting point for affordable housing negotiations. Further clarity will be provided out within the Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance.
