Affordable Housing Supply Review

The independent affordable housing supply review panel has today released its recommendations following almost a year of work engaging with stakeholders from across the sector. The review has worked across a number of workstreams engaging with experts considering the supply of land, innovative housing and measuring housing need.The review’s main recommendations cover:
·         Consolidate and simplify standards for all new build affordable homes;
·         New affordable homes to be built to EPC ‘A’ standard from 2021 
·         Implementing a five-year rent policy from 2020-21
·         Establishing an arms-length body to act as a hub for public sector land management and professional services, to speed up the development of public land for affordable housing;
·         A new approach to replace the Social Housing Grant
