SALFORD COUNCIL RESPONDS TO PLANNING SCANDAL

"...there has been widespread public concern about the low proportion of affordable homes"... "Transparency...is essential to maintaining public confidence in the planning system"...

After three years of the Salford Star pointing out the absolute scandal of developers avoiding planning obligations and the provision of affordable housing, Salford Council has finally responded with a proposal for a revised SPD (Supplementary Planning Document).

While there's still loads of loopholes, 'viability assessments', used by developers to avoid fees, will be made public, and there will be a minimum of 20% affordable housing on all developments in the city over 25 dwellings. The proposal will go out to consultation between 22nd January and 22nd March, to be adopted this summer.
