Give feedback on this pageHousing shortages and high prices in the UK have pushed the Government to respond with an ambitious building programme. £3.3 billion of public money has been set aside for affordable housing over the next three years, with more to follow.
However, more importantly, the Government has set planning requirements for developers to deliver quality housing at affordable prices. This means that in the county of Denbighshire, any project over a certain size will be required to incorporate homes for the social and low cost housing sector.
The opportunities for you to profit from this building boom are huge. But funding relies on meeting rising sustainability targets and even tougher RSL requirements, quality and efficient construction methods.
When applying for Planning Permission it is important that you complete the Affordable Housing Questionnaire at the initial stage of your programme.
The Planning Authority will give preference to all applications which are accompanied by the Affordable Housing Questionnaire. This will save time and money and hopefully speed up the process of your application as any problems will be highlighted and rectified at the start of the project.
PLEASE BE AWARE: Any application which does not include the questionnaire may take more time to process.
The Supplementary Planning Guidance gives all the information you should need and is available via the Planning Portal of this web site.
