Paragraph 63 of the 2018 NPP confirms the Affordable Housing threshold as 10 or less dwellings or a combined floor space of 1,000sqm, with an optional lower threshold of 5 or less dwellings in designated areas.

Has he put in a retrospective amendment? Seem to fly through here...local tow rag built 6 half mil+ houses in the village and had to do 2 'affordables' to get the six .... now pleading theyr'e unviable, 'cos costs have risen so much - even though he sold the six half mil+,s for a lot more than anticipated originally - he'll have to dig into his extra profits to build the 'affordables' - couldn't have built six without agreeing to provide the two rabbit hutches and is now also playing the 'social landlords' won't pay the cost prices anymore card - again he'll have to swallow the difference -- bloke is a universally detested twat anyway - couldn't happen to a more deserving individual

para 66 is more relevant here Bob and remember -- we're talking Wales here
" 19 December 2023. This sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. "
National Planning Policy Framework
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was first published on 27 March 2012 and updated on 24 July 2018, 19 February 2019, 20 July 2021, 5 September 2023 and 19 December 2023. This sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied.
" 66. Where major development involving the provision of housing is proposed, planning policies and decisions should expect at least 10% of the total number of homes to be available for affordable home ownership 32 , unless this would exceed the level of affordable housing required in the area, or significantly prejudice the ability to meet the identified affordable housing needs of specific groups. Exemptions to this 10% requirement should also be made where the site or proposed development:
(a) provides solely for Build to Rent homes;
(b) provides specialist accommodation for a group of people with specific needs (such as purpose-built accommodation for the elderly or students);
(c) is proposed to be developed by people who wish to build or commission their own homes; or
(d) is exclusively for affordable housing, a community-led development exception site or a rural exception site. "

Legal & General sells Cala to private equity investors
Legal & General has agreed the sale of house-builder Cala Group (Holdings) Limited to investment firm Sixth Street Partners and real estate investor Patron Capital.
www.theconstructionindex.co.uk
" San Francisco-based Sixth Street Partners and London-based Patron Capital ..... Overseas investors, especially US buyout firms, have long had an interest in backing the UK housebuilder market. ....Cala has successfully tripled the number of homes we build each year, whilst revenue and profits have grown five- and tenfold respectively.” "
and we wonder why housing is o expensive ????" This is the second time Patron is backing Cala. The firm previously owned 52% of Cala alongside L&G but exited the full stake to L&G in 2018 .. Patron represents approximately €4,0 billion of capital across several funds and related co-investments. Investors include universities, institutions, private foundations, and high-net-worth individuals located throughout North America "
so the UK house building game will be ever more reliant on foreign investors, who'll bale at the slightest glitch usually
