Affordable Housing
LDF Supplementary Planning Document
Introduction
As
part of its Local Development Framework, Bexley Council prepared a Supplementary
Planning Document (SPD) to guide developments within the Borough that may include
the provision of Affordable Housing.
Bexley's Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document was adopted
on 9th March 2006, together with the final report of the Sustainability Appraisal
and the Adoption Statement. The document is intended to clarify and support the
affordable housing policies contained within the 2004 Unitary Development Plan.
It is therefore a material consideration when the Council considers planning
applications that may include the provision of Affordable Housing.
The formula used to calculate developers’ contributions towards the
provision of Affordable Housing (Appendix 1) was revised in 2007. The revised
version is available as a separate document.
Links to the documents are provided in the left-hand column of this webpage.
The London Plan: Consolidated with Alterations Since 2004 (February 2008)
The Consolidated London Plan was published on 19 February 2008. This document forms part of Bexley’s Development Plan and is therefore relevant to the determination of planning applications within the Borough. A number of new or amended policies have been introduced which will now take precedence over some existing policies and guidance within the adopted UDP and SPDs. The Consolidated London Plan can be viewed  here. The Council will issue addendums to the documents affected as soon as possible. In the meantime if you have any questions or queries on this matter please contact the LDF Team at LDFteam@bexley.gov.uk or telephone 020 8308 7725/7778 or 7782.
