Affordable Housing Developers' Pack

We have produced an Affordable Housing Developers' Pack to explain our affordable housing policies for developers.

This comes in the form of a set of documents explaining how we propose to meet the challenging affordable housing targets for North Somerset set out in our Affordable Housing Delivery Plan (AHDP).

We have a subsidy free approach to affordable housing on residential sites with more than 15 units or 0.5 hectares with details of the transfer prices outlined in our Affordable Housing Transfer Price guidelines.

In 2005 we also worked with Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council and Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) Council to commission research about housing needs in the West of England.

To find out the results of this study please download the following documents:

Our requirements for all new build affordable housing projects can be found in the North Somerset Affordable Housing Scheme Development Standards. It is expected that all new affordable homes, developed by both housing associations and private developers, will meet these standards unless a specific waiver is given by the council's Housing Development Team.
