LHN2(iv)(a) The "Affordable Housing" background paper mentions that affordable housing should be provided in rural areas where there is a "demonstrable need" and not in accordance with a blanket percentage figure of houses to be provided. Villages which already have a greater percentage of affordable housing than the average of the District should not be required to add further to that stock. With the latest Housing Needs Survey in this parish being ten years ago, it is not likely that up-to-date information regarding need will be available when housing development is proposed.
