Policy H2 refers to a need for a minimum of 40% affordable housing to meet the local needs. However, the evidence base does not justify this level of affordable housing. Indeed, the Base Line Market Position in the Viability Assessment Final Report (Nov 2011 DTZ) which pre-dates the NPPF and NPPG confirms that no development was viable at 40% (paragraph 10.6). Paragraph 10.8 of the Affordable housing Viability Assessment states: "....DTZ would suggest Warwick District Council consider producing a zoned affordable housing policy which has different affordable housing percentages by area."

This stance should be considered in policy H2. Policy H2 should therefore be re-written to ensure that the level of affordable housing renders development viable.
