Long Clawson, Hose and Harby Neighbourhood Plan Housing Needs Analyses, 2016 During the second half of 2016, with support from our Consultants, YourLocale, the LCHH Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee undertook a two stage process to assess local housing needs by reviewing: A) Analysis of housing need and preparing a village-by-village assessment of local housing need (see attached spreadsheet and conclusions produced by the NPAG). B) 2011 Census data relating to household composition and housing data (see attached YourLocale report); The following two part document includes the conclusions of these two inter-related work strands. I It should be noted that the work on Affordable Housing Needs is likely to involve a shorter time horizon than the more statistical analysis of parish wide census data which provides the background for longer term conclusions. In short the specific need for Affordable Housing in each village will be quite dynamic and will change from year to year. The aim has been to create a snapshot in time during the plan preparation process. When the performance of the Neighbourhood Plan is reviewed it is likely that Affordable Housing Needs will require updating to reflect local and specific needs at that time.
