Housing needs study

What is a housing needs study?

Housing needs studies provide detail about people's housing needs and aspirations including key estimates on the numbers and types of households in housing need.

Housing needs studies also provide detail on incomes, affordability of housing, suitability of existing housing and the scope of alternative housing solutions.

All of this information assists the Council in developing housing strategies and planning policies to help secure investment in affordable housing and shape the development of new homes in years to come.
