    <br />
    Best practice: Examples of best practice to maintain and increase affordable and
    rented houses included the use of section 106 agreements similar to those agreed
    by Holne PC in minute 0703.03 of the PC meeting on March7th.: “ When considering an extension, including conservatory,
    the council will recommend a section 106 agreement be entered into that ensures
    that any part of the dwelling so extended shall remain as ancillary accommodation
    in connection with the residential use of the dwelling house and will not be sold
    off or let as a separate dwelling.”
    <br />
    Furthermore the use of dwellings as holiday lets and with agricultural ties are
    being monitored in some areas in Devon and if there is a possible breach of these
    conditions it is negotiated with the owner for example to put a similar condition
    on other dwellings owned by the same person..e.g. a farmhouse with a section 106
    agreement to ensure
    that those buildings be used as ancillary to the main dwelling
    or that if sold away the dwelling be sold only as affordable/ social in the definition of those terms agreed in the authority’s Local Plan. By these methods rented accommodation
    AND affordable houses are maintained and provided without building any new dwellings.
