How many Socially Rented Houses are they talking about?
The figures given by the council relate to percentage of new homes over all developments and are currently 25% “affordable housing”, this is made up of 75% Socially Rented Housing (or 18.75% of new homes) and 25% Intermediate housing (or 6.25% of new homes). The 25% figure is based on the Councils current assessment and plans to release more Socially Rented Housing from existing stock and to clear the shortfall of 2,600 Social Homes over ten years.
