Circular advises easing of social housing obligations
Article Abstract:
A recent housing circular calls for planning obligations to be used more liberally to encourage increased development of affordable housing. However some feel that the new circular could encourage local planning authorities to put unreasonable pressure on developers by using Section 106s. The circular also calls for detailed housing targets to be contained in local plans rather than structure plans.
