The reference in the supporting text to Policy CS8 to 9.8% of housing mix to be provided within new housing developments as Starter Homes and 5% as shared ownership should be reviewed, as the amended definition of affordable housing sets a wider range of tenures available to meet needs than paragraph 8.106 suggests. The wording at paragraph 8.141 is more suitable, allowing more flexibility to respond to local housing needs and those identified in the Core Strategy evidence base.
