The LGA is warning that some councils could see an almost
50% reduction in affordable housing delivery. Under current rules, only sites
of 10 homes or fewer are exempt from providing affordable housing through
Section 106 agreements. However, in August the government announced plans to
increase this threshold to 40 or 50 homes. Analysis by Glenigan found that
between 2015/16 and 2019/20, 119,505 homes were delivered on sites between 10
and 49 units. This would have included 29,876 affordable homes through Section
106 agreements, based on current rules that require developers to deliver 25%
affordable housing on sites of this size. Read more on the LGA website.
