To replace paragraph 3.1(i) of the adopted
Commuted Sums Spending Policy with the following:

(i) Additionality

Proposals must deliver additional affordable housing units1 which
contribute to new supply in the District. Additionality might also
be demonstrated by showing that the funding would be used to
acquire and/or convert the tenure of affordable housing to a more
affordable tenure (such as conversion from affordable rent to
social rent), or a type of specialist affordable housing which is
undersupplied (such as Temporary Accommodation). Commuted sums will
not be used to fund the upkeep/maintenance of homes or the outright
purchase of new affordable housing secured through planning
obligations, although funds could be used to convert the tenure of
new Section 106 units to something more affordable.
