In this episode, Trevor Ivory (partner) is joined by Pieter Claussen (Senior Associate) and Johanne Ward (Associate) to discuss the whys and wherefores of First Homes. This practical discussion covers: what they are and who may be eligible to buy them; how they are provided for in planning policy and local plans; how their provision weighs in the planning balance; how they might be secured through s106 obligations; and how First Homes will impact on the provision of other affordable housing tenures.
