Housing Supplementary Guidance

This document contains supplementary guidance for the Cairngorms National Park Local Development Plan 2021, specifically focusing on housing policy. It explains how the Park Authority will apply housing policy across the National Park, with a main focus on affordable housing, which has been identified as a major issue. It outlines the requirements for affordable housing contributions in new developments, including financial contributions for smaller projects, and details the various types of affordable housing options, such as social rent, shared equity and discounted sales. The document also covers designing for affordability, housing in different locations like settlements and the countryside, and considerations for conversions and replacement houses, and provides contact information for housing authorities and registered social landlords (RSLs).
