<p>In the draft National Planning Policy Framework we have consulted on a revised
definition of affordable housing for planning purposes. The proposed definition does
not remove social rent as a type of affordable housing. The Government’s rent policy
sets out guidelines for rent setting for social rent properties and is specifically
referenced in the proposed definition. We are considering whether any further amendments
to the definition are needed in the light of the comments received, and intend to
publish a final version this summer.</p>
