Part V is here to stay. There was never any question of the Minister setting aside the requirement that housing developers make a contribution to the provision of social and affordable housing. He is aiming to remove the current rigidity in order to ensure a more effective and efficient system, thereby delivering a much higher volume of social and affordable housing. The main changes to Part V will give developers and planning authorities more flexibility to agree a variety of arrangements to provide social and affordable housing. The new arrangements will allow for land, houses or sites to be provided at alternative locations as well as land exchanges between developers and authorities and payments to a local authority fund to provide social and affordable housing. All arrangements agreed must be fully in compliance with local housing strategies and development plans and must ensure social integration.
