Viability impact on provision of social rent and affordable housing The National Planning Policy Framework does not require developers to build out schemes that will lose them money. All planning applications (above the 10 units at which affordable housing is required to be provided) are accompanied by a Viability Statement. As it stands, these viability statements, because they contain sensitive financial information are not available to the public or, at best, can be seen in redacted form. In 2008, in order to encourage developers to continue building, a 20% - 25% profit margin was allowable. It could be argued that times have been a lot better over the last few years and the profit margin could have been lowered without risk to development taking place.
