A councillor says new targets should see an increase in affordable housing on offer across Lichfield and Burntwood.
Lichfield District Council has outlined its Local Plan 2040 document in recent weeks.
As well as identifying that more than 9,000 new homes will be required over the next two decades, the plan also covers aspects such as demand for certain types of housing.
Cllr Colin Ball, Labour representative for Curborough ward, told a meeting of the council this week that an increased number of affordable properties were needed on new developments.

“I’d like to commend the cabinet for accepting my suggestions about having minimum levels on schemes – 20% on Strategic Housing Allocation and brownfield locations and 35% minimum on Greenfield between 10 and 500 dwellings.
