The policy could provide for the allocation of affordable housing sites (as in Wealden District) with developer contributions from all new open market housing within village settlement boundaries. Such contributions could then be used to acquire and service the allocated affordable housing sites. Such a policy could be introduced in addition to an 'exceptions' sites policy. The alternative of reducing the threshold to as low as 3 new dwellings is likely to result in no new housing sites coming forward in rural settlements, weakening any potential for affordable housing in such settlements.
