The affordable housing SPD 
(305 KB) was adopted (adoption statement (16 KB)) in December 2005 and became effective on 1January 2006. On 1 April 2007 the lower site size threshold of 15 dwellings for affordable housing requirements came into effect. Targets for the proportion and tenure of affordable housing on sites of 15-24 homes are set out in appendix 3.
