USS notes that proposed policy H/AH proposes that affordable homes should be provided on-site except for in the circumstances set out in paragraph 63 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021. USS supports this approach which is in line with national policy.
USS notes that it is proposed that where the development is solely for Build to Rent, there could be a proportionate reduction in affordable housing. USS recommends that this also applies for developments where part of the residential uses are Build to Rent. This will ensure that it is viable for the most suitable residential mix to come forward on sites.
