1 An element of special needs housing will be sought in all developments (including the allocations and proposals sites in policy HSG1) that provide for 25 or more dwellings or involve sites of 1 ha or more irrespective of the number of dwellings.
2 The amount of special needs housing sought will be expected to amount to 10% of the total housing provision on the site concerned, but the precise quantity will be determined having regard to site size, suitability, the economics of provision and the need to achieve a successful development. All or part of the provision may be absorbed within the 40% affordable housing requirement of policy HSG2.
