Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document

Leicester City Council formally adopted the Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on the 21^st March 2011.

The SPD provides further detail on, and supports the implementation of, Policy CS7 of the Council’s Core Strategy document.  It aims to provide greater certainty and clarity for all parties involved in the delivery of affordable housing within the City, and is intended to be used in decision making relating to planning applications that include residential development.

The following documents are published alongside the adopted SPD and, like the SPD, are available to download via the links below:

• Adoption Statement

• Leicester City Council brief for dwellings which are fully accessible to wheelchair

• Summary of representations made during consultation

Further information on the Council’s work in relation to affordable housing can be found at our Affordable housing page.
