Re: Re: Social and affordable housing question

Billy,

It is standard practice for the developer or agent to discuss in advance with the local authority and to agree that a condition to be inserted requiring that delivery of S&A housing be agreed prior to commencement of development. This does not disadvantage the local authority in any way.

The Regulations allow for a wide variety of ways of satisfying the requirements – and the developer is perfectly within his rights to negotiate within the permitted options.
