Housing Market Assessment

PUSH commissioned DTZ Pieda to prepare a Housing Market Assessment, the first stage of which was completed in 2005 followed by a second stage completed in October 2006, with support from CLG. The Housing Market Assessment has informed PUSH’s policies in the Sub-Regional Strategy incorporated into the South East Plan, and has helped to shape work on the Sub-Regional Housing Strategy.

The main recommendations from the Housing Market Assessment 2006 were:

• Maximise the provision of affordable housing with a minimum quota in new developments of 30% and up to 40% on suitable sites

• Consider the requirements of specific demographic groups – with particular focus on older persons – that will have an important influence on the way the rest of the housing market functions

• Maintain systems for monitoring the size and type of new dwellings completed in the sub-region

• Consider establishing a specific delivery body for the sub-region

• Aim to provide a broader range of dwellings in all locations, using new dwellings to meet specific gaps in the housing stock, where appropriate

• Focus on design tools as well as dwelling mix to encourage the creation of mixed communities
