Cala generally agrees with Draft Policy Direction 10. This reflects NPPF paragraph 63 and it is important that the needs of current and future occupiers in respect of tenure and types of homes are catered for. Cala supports the approach of having regard to the latest evidence but recommends flexibility in policy to account for new evidence, changing needs and site-specific characteristics.

There is no specific target level set in the document. This is critical for determining the viability of schemes. NPPF Paragraph 35 states that Plans should set out contributions and Paragraph 72 states that policies should have regards to viability. Cala supports the approach of undertaking a viability assessment prior to Regulation 19 stage and it is important to test different affordable housing levels as part of this.
