Council concern at lack of affordable housing

COUNCILLORS have shared their frustration at plans for another development with no affordable homes.

Stockport council's planning committee met last week to decide on a number of applications, including a plan to build 109 homes.

The scheme will create new apartments on a former vehicle depot on 32 to 52 London Road in Hazel Grove, but a viability assessment submitted with the plan stated that the applicant - Kirkland Developments Ltd cannot make any of the homes 'affordable.

Affordable homes are those priced below market rates, and are seen as a way of allowing more people to access the housing market.
