I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act please. Please could you provide, for each of the past five complete financial years, and the first quarter of the current financial year:

1. The total number of affordable homes approved by the council in each year

2. A breakdown, for each year, of every development approved that included affordable homes and include: the name of the development or road in which it sits, the total number of housing units, the total number of affordable units, the tenure type of the affordable units i.e social rent, shared ownership

3. A list of approved developments in each year that did not provide the council's minimum requirement for affordable homes. Please provide the name or street location of the development, the total number of homes in that development, the total number of affordable homes and tenure type, the reason given for not meeting the affordable homes benchmark, and any alternative provided in lieu including the amounts of any cash contribution

4. What percentage of homes in a development the council says should be classified as affordable in its housing policy

5. The amount of cash in each of those financial years that was paid by developers in lieu of providing affordable homes, and how much of that cash is yet to be spent

6. How much money from the pot of cash paid into by developers in lieu of providing affordable homes that was spent on emergency or temporary accommodation
