Type, size or tenure of new homes

National planning policy makes clear that the need for affordable housing, families with children, older people, students, people with disabilities, service families, travellers, people who rent homes and those wishing to build their own homes should be provided for in local plans (This is not an exhaustive list, and it could also consider community-led housing, co-housing, and ‘tiny homes’).

The council’s existing Local Housing Needs Assessment (2020) provides a snapshot of the range of housing needs required in our area. This will be updated later in the SLP process to ensure it is up-to-date. In the meantime, we would like to hear your views as to what forms of accommodation you think we should plan for in the SLP.
