PUSH Growth Fund Changes for 2010/11

The Partnership for Urban South Hampshire is dismayed at the Government's response to its recent consultation on cuts in the Growth Fund. The 44% cut in PUSH’s capital, grant announced this week, will mean that PUSH will not be able to support some key projects in 2010-11 and puts at risk other investment in projects that rely on PUSH funding. ...

PUSH 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 ODPM/DCLG. The Housing Market Assessment has informed PUSH’s policies in the Sub-Regional Strategy incorporated into the Draft South East Plan, and is helping to shape work on a Sub-Regional Housing Strategy.

The main recommendations from the 2nd Housing Market Assessment 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

The results of the Housing Market Assessment will inform a range of future work for the PUSH Housing Group.
