As with the proposed requirements for self-build and space standards our client has serious concerns about the impact that requirements for accessible specialist housing will have on the viability of developments. The proposals for major housing development to provide at least 20% of homes to the Building Regulation M4(2)[1] will add additional costs to housing developments, which in some instances may be unviable with a policy compliant percentage of affordable housing. Therefore, the wording of Policy 5 needs amending to allow for scenarios when it may not be possible to achieve the 20% requirement where viability issues are a material consideration.
