Affordable Housing SPD

The council adopted the Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) in April 2021.

The SPD sets out the council’s guidance on the securing of planning obligations and affordable housing from new development within the borough. Its purpose is to provide all parties with clarity and guidance on when, how and what affordable housing the council expects on new developments. It has been prepared to support the Waverley Borough Local Plan Part 1: Strategic Policies and Sites (LPP1) which was adopted by the Council on 20 February 2018.

An update to the Affordable Housing SPD was adopted by the council on 21 March 2023.
