Affordable Housing SPD

A Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was approved by Shepway District Council on the 17 September 2008. The purpose of the SPD is to provide more detailed advice for applicants for planning permission for new housing development, and also for the information of the wider public, on how Shepway District Council will apply policy H04 from the Local Plan Review (2006).

The SPD will be monitored predominantly though the annual monitoring report (AMR) which the councils planning policy team produce. The key measure used for monitoring the Affordable Housing SPD in the AMR will be recording and analysing the number of affordable houses delivered per annum. However future AMR's will review the potential for reporting on additional indicators.

The adoption statement along with a table setting out a summary of the main issues raised in the public consultation (carried out between 3 March and 14 April 2008) is available to view below.:
