Labour's proposed mandate for 50% affordable housing in grey belt lands may lead to the unviability of 80% of small development sites, per Viability's research.
A reduction of the affordable housing requirement to 35% could make 30% of small grey belt sites viable, thereby helping developers sustain operations.
The Ministry of Housing claims the 50% affordable housing goal is 'subject to viability', necessitating developers to submit viability assessments if unable to meet it.
Angela Rayner urges council leaders to tackle housing development as a professional duty and a moral obligation, amid plans to build 1.5 million homes.
