Mr. Jim Baneham:
The density guidelines are set out by the relevant local development plan. For a long time when we had LAGS land, the only fundable development was social housing. It was only with the advent of the Affordable Housing Act and the funding streams linked to affordable housing from 2021 onwards in the Housing for All plan that they are being looked at to deliver affordable housing as well. There are some schemes that have been successful in achieving affordable housing funding from local authorities.
