Another fun one is when a developer dodges the 40% affordable housing that is required round here by providing figures that prove that, with the finished flats being worth just £300k each, the development isn’t profitable with 40% affordable, so the council drop the requirement to 15% to help ensure the site gets built. Better 15% than nothing, right? Flats get built and, oh what luck, they’re selling for £400k! Who’d have thinked it?
