Manchester city council has voted to make public the
secret documents used by developers to bypass affordable housing quotas.
Analysis by the Guardian earlier this month showed that developers behind

of the 14,667 units analysed by the Guardian made any concessions to
affordability, being pitched as shared ownership properties. Read more on the
