Policy CS12: Affordable housing

The affordable housing policy is potentially unsound because the rates proposed may render the plan undeliverable and therefore the policy may prove ineffective.

It is also unclear how a policy requirement of 35% and 15% affordable housing by total floor space would work in practice. It is unclear how this would translate into a dwelling requirement.
