Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 24803

Received: 10/10/2017

Respondent: Rentplus UK Ltd

Representation Summary:

The Government intends to widen the definition of affordable housing to encourage a greater diversity of housing to be delivered across England to meet a full range of needs. Starter homes continue to form part of this mix, but is also to be read as a small part of a larger array of tenures, including rent to buy. Members of the Government have indicated that the next iteration of the NPPF (expected in early 2018) is to include rent to buy. This, and starter homes, should be considered as part of the response to meeting local housing needs.
