Further clarity should be provided as to the extent of additional contributions that could be sought for the maintenance of assets secured through planning obligations, and what the policy justification would be by which the requested sum would be derived from. Naturally, it is appreciated that this sum will vary on a case by case basis, however a calculation for how this sum is arrived at would be fair and transparent.

The updated guidance in this section of the SPD is welcomed. It is acknowledged that the starting point for the affordable housing mix is to be derived from the table contained in Paragraph 5.15 of the Planning Obligations SPD. However, it is welcomed that an alternative mix can be provided should this be justified against detailed local housing needs evidence, or evidence contained in Neighbourhood Plans. Such evidence should also include the revised HEDNA mix which will inform the new Local Plan.

We welcome the amendments made to the SPD in this section regarding the inclusion of First Homes within the consultation document. As is set out in the SPD, the current Local Plan policies on affordable housing will continue to apply until the next Local Plan is adopted and therefore it is not the role of the SPD to introduce new or amend existing policy on this subject.
