Representation Summary:

Rother can build as many affordable houses as it likes, but without a strategy to ensure that they stay affordable, then it will be in this position again in 5 years. A house is only affordable the first time it is sold, then the next time it will be sold at market rate. Meaning a vast increase in cash for the seller at the expense of the next generation requiring such housing.
