Question
What assessment has the Cabinet Minister made of the impact on the viability and delivery of affordable housing developments of reduced soil and inert waste disposal capacity in north Wales, including increased disposal and haulage costs?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning (Siân Gwenllian)
We undertake an annual review of the Standard Viability Model (SVM) and update to Acceptable Cost Guidance (ACG) associated with Welsh Government supported affordable housing developments - to reflect current economic and market conditions as well as potential abnormal costs.
The findings have now been reflected in the latest rates and grants associated with acceptable costs for affordable housing developments.
I have asked my officials to look into the specific matter you raise.
