The above document is currently undergoing formal consultation.
The Affordable Housing SPD outlines Leeds City Council’s proposed requirements for the provision of affordable housing on planning applications submitted for residential development.
The SPD, once formally adopted, will replace the existing Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) on Affordable Housing, ie. the proposals in the SPD will not apply until the plan is formally adopted. The existing informal housing policy and supplementary planning guidance remain until then.
An accompanying Sustainability Appraisal (SA) document has also been produced. This has thoroughly assessed the draft SPD against environmental, social and economic effects which would result from applying the SPD.
The purpose of this e-mail is to invite you to consider the SPD and SA. Any comments or suggestions on the documents would be welcome. These should be returned (faxed, posted, hand delivered or via email) to City Development by 5 p.m. on 7th November 2008. See below for address and numbers.
Should you wish to view a copy of the SPD and SA then as of today you can access these documents, along with the Statement of the SPD Matters and comments form, in the following ways:
- On the internet using the links above
- By visiting the Development Office at The Leonardo Building, 2 Rossington Street, LS2 8HD (Monday to Friday 0830 – 1700, except Wednesday 1000 – 1700) or
- By requesting copies to be sent to you by post or email ( telephone (0113 2478075, Fax 0113 247 6484) or email ldf@leeds.gov.uk)
- Libraries and One Stop Centres within Leeds District will have a hard copy only of the Draft SPD from 29th September.
I trust this e-mail provides you with sufficient information but if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to contact Lois Pickering, Senior Planning Officer, Planning Policy on (0113) 2478133.
