The provision of affordable housing should be included within the Core Strategy as a strategic objective where the community Strategy and evidence base has identified it as an issue. The data that informs the numbers of affordable homes required will change over the lifespan of the document therefore the Core Strategy should not draw detailed numerical conclusions in terms of percentage targets, although it should make clear what is to be delivered, who is to deliver it, by when, where and how. Also what transport/infrastructure would need to support it.
