St Philips agree that planning policies should reflect the housing needs of different groups, including those needing affordable housing, as outlined in the NPPF. Evidence must underpin these policies, ensuring clarity and economic viability. The SWAs have yet to specify affordable housing requirements, which should be tested through a Viability Assessment to maintain the Local Plan's deliverability. St Philips support incorporating a viability caveat in the affordable housing policy, allowing flexibility for developers in response to changing economic conditions, as emphasised in the NPPF.
