The Merton Local Plan (November 2024), Strategic Policy H11.1 requires small sites of 2-9 homes (gross) to make an affordable housing contribution.

‍

This project was for the conversion of 1 no. 3-bedroom terraced house into 2 no. apartments and thus triggered the threshold.

‍

After negotiations, the viability reports demonstrated that any Affordable Housing contribution was unviable and this was agreed by the Council's assessors.
