Main concern is that affordable housing delivery is not squeezed by CIL charges that are set too high. The delivery of affordable housing should be a fundamental consideration for LPAs when setting rates.
Would like reassurance that the Council has fully tested the 40% target against the prescribed CIL rates.

Para 2.3 of the viability assessment states that other sources of funding are not taken into account and it is simply a viability study. This is contrary to the guidance that requires a charging authority to identify the total cost of infrastructure it desires to fund in part or whole from the levy. The Council will also have to consider other streams of funding.

Concerned that there does not appear to be no testing on C2 or C3 development relating to older persons housing. This type of development has reduced profit margins due to a higher percentage of un-sellable floor space and the nature of the development requires full completion before any of the lots can be occupied.
CIL guidance states that specialist forms of development should not be unduly affected by CIL. This has not been a consideration in the PDC Schedule. Extra care housing particular should be treated differently.

Supportive of the Council's proposal to allow CIL payment by instalments Suggest payment in thirds with final payment on completion.
Note that the Council is yet to form a view on exceptional relief, thinks that allowing exceptions would assist the delivery of affordable housing in Warwick.

Note viability assessment recommends £105 sqm for superstores, supermarkets and retail parks - this has been reduced to £75 sqm in the PDCC. Would like to know the justification for these reductions.
