House prices have significantly outstripped wages and there are significant shortfalls across Great Britain in affordable housing. Alongside this, there are numerous hurdles to the delivery of affordable housing, such as access to finance, land availability, and viability.
Our experts provide a range of planning-related services to local authorities, Registered Providers (including not-for-profit and for-profit providers), land owners and housing developers on affordable housing matters.
This includes advice on the need for affordable housing, whether that to be to advise local authorities of the amount and/or type of affordable housing it should be planning for, or advising developers and registered providers on the delivery of affordable housing through the planning process, including the negotiation of planning obligations and Section 106 Agreements.
We advise on developments solely for affordable housing, as well as development where affordable housing is only a small element of the overall proposals.
