We have set out in policy our intent that a minimum of 30 percent of new housing in the Garden Community to be classed as affordable (including the potential for more social housing) by the Government’s definition. The affordable housing will be phased through the development.  

Additionally, there is an opportunity to build new housing for specific groups such as older people and people with disabilities.  

This Garden Community will provide a truly balanced and inclusive community. We will make sure it meets the housing needs of local people including a mix of dwelling sizes, tenures and types, provision for self- and custom-built homes, provision for the aging population, and provision for Gypsies and Travellers
