Affordable housing

[vx220]

Hi, quickie question.
Is there a quick rule of thumb for builders developing a site as to the number of houses they build compared to how many are social affordable housing?
Cheers

Thanks guys

Is there a minimum number of houses where you don't have to include social or affordable housing? In Essex if that helps. I'll call planning on Tuesday, but to give us an idea

No, as above, both percentages and trigger levels will vary from LPA to LPA, even if they aren't negotiated separately by the developer.

Is this for a development you have in mind for yourself, or one by another developer that you wish to challenge?

Neither really, just for friends info. I think the development is only for five houses

Will try Tuesday, and post back .

unless you like rusting bikes, trampolines, old sofas and rusting bmx's left on the front lawn.....

It's The Essex, we have to have a Pinto block with twin 45s hanging off the side in every front garden!

If they can afford twin 45's, these days, they can bloody well afford to buy their own house!

Pintos and 45s are worth considerably less if you leave them outside to fill with water...

I only ever felt that Pintos had any usefulness or value for anchoring small vessels, even in their heyday, but there can't be many left outside in the elements with Webers attached, even in Essex, these days?

Every x-flow, pinto and CVH that got swapped for a zetec made its way home to Essex, had its spark plugs removed and then distributed to the houses that didn't have one...
