Despite relatively low house prices and rents in Blackpool, affordability is a serious issue
The measure, which has been approved by the council’s executive, sets out the level of affordable housing which developers must include in any schemes and also stipulates it must be indistinguishable from the market value homes.
“Many of these low income households do not have the ability to save for a deposit or may not be able to obtain a mortgage.”The policy means all developments of more than 15 homes outside the inner areas will be expected to comprise 30 per cent affordable housing, and 70 per cent of those should be available for affordable rent. It means a development of 80 homes must include 24 affordable homes, and affordability must be maintained in perpetuity.
Those without proper homes include rough sleepers and the homeless, young children affected by transience, vulnerable young people, people in properties with poor heating and insulation, and those with long term support needs. Studies show around 210 affordable houses a year need to be built in Blackpool up until 2027.
