Our experience in the IGS demonstrates that viability and pragmatic policy decisions are central to securing delivery. Our policy representations over the last decade have continually sought to ensure that policies have been realistically framed to allow them to be met, rather than being expressed as aspirational and then failing to be upheld. We have consistently argued that polices relating to the proportion of affordable housing to be delivered, and to the sustainability standards to be achieved in new built schemes should be expressed on a realistic basis and consistent with national policy.
