Monotenure is a
planning term relating to the
land tenure of a development or neighbourhood. There are generally three types of residential land tenure within the built environment:
private sector housing (also known as market housing),
social housing, and intermediate (or
shared ownership) housing. The term monotenure can be applied to an area where any of these three types of tenures are prevalent; however, the term is generally used to apply to areas where
social housing is the primary tenure.
