SECTION 3 housing Key Points Need consistency between definition used for housing density in the LDF and RSS monitoring processes Housing Provision is above target everywhere except Northamptonshire Affordable housing provision remains significantly below target Local Authority and CLG data on the use of previously developed land for housing paints different pictures for the region Actions RPB to ensure definitions are consistent for 2006/07 Figures need to be considered in the context of the draft Regional Plan and need to look at methodology for calculating trajectories The RPB and its partners should support the ongoing work on the ten Market Housing Assessments which are reviewing the issue of affordability and affordable housing targets The Housing Advisory Group should work with CLG to understand the differences in the data INTRODUCTION 3.1 This section provides analysis on the following regional housing related policies contained within RSS8.

An example is the different definition used for housing density in the Local Development Framework (LDF) monitoring process and that used in the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) monitoring process. This has arisen in part because of the different times at which the monitoring processes were introduced, with the RSS process being in place for the past five years. The housing density definition used in 2005/06 is consistent with that used in the past and hence provides a comparative basis over time. Given that a new RSS will be operating as of next year then this offers the opportunity for an alignment of definitions. 3.3 Although the overall response rate to the main housing questionnaire used in 2005/06 was 100%, not all questions were fully completed. The response rate for the additional questions on types of policies in place, at around 88%, was less good. This lower response rate may in part be because the questions were asked after the initial questionnaire had been completed. Policy 4: Promoting Better Design Standards of design and construction should be improved through: the increased density of new housing; design and construction to allow energy efficiency and the reduction of crime in new areas of development; and improvements in open spaces Targets: • Increased densities in line with National Guidance Indicators: • Density of new housing • Energy efficient construction • Crime rates • Improvements in open space 26
