Rural affordable housing
Our statement of commitment on rural affordable housing sets out our approach to sustainable development in rural areas.
Opportunities for rural development are limited but rural exception sites can provide affordable housing if a local need can be demonstrated.
Housing development that helps to sustain village communities, schools and services is balanced with any potential negative impacts.
Read our housing strategy and our sustainable community strategy for more information.
Delivering housing growth
We are working with partner organisations to achieve our vision and ambitions for housing which we have set out in our housing strategy.
Our core strategy shows our commitment to delivering planned growth to housing in 2006-2027 which includes 35% affordable homes.
