(see also Minute 221)

Minute 2 refers

The Executive Member for Health and Wellbeing submitted a report seeking authority to produce a new draft Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which would sit alongside the East Herts District Plan once adopted.  The new SPD would provide further guidance on the delivery of affordable housing in East Herts and would support Policy HOU3: Affordable Housing as set out in the emerging District Plan.  Once adopted, the new SPD would replace the Council’s current Affordable Housing SPD (January 2008).  

The Executive Member referred to the need to address excluded groups and to look at developing a model section 106 agreement.  In response to Members’ comments and questions, Officers acknowledged that shared ownership would be looked at by the team.

The Panel supported the recommendation now detailed.

RECOMMENDED – that a new draft Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) be produced, with the content to be agreed in due course prior to public consultation.
