3.17 The overall percentage of dwellings that are vacant in 2005/06 in the East Midlands at 3.2% remains similar to that for the previous four years. The new dwellings with outstanding planning permissions in the East Midlands shows an increase from 79,517 in 2005 to 93,821 in 2006 which extends the years of future dwelling supply from 5.1 years as at 2005 to 6.1 years as at 2006. The supply in 2005 appeared low, however, because of missing data in Northamptonshire. Policy Commentary 3.18 The fact that housing provision is above the target everywhere except Northamptonshire should also be considered in the context of the consultation draft Regional Plan, which proposes an average annual rate of provision of 15,295 excluding Northamptonshire, almost exactly what was completed in 2005/06. This is more consistent with the 2003-based household projections and recent Government policy, which emphasises delivery of higher housing numbers. 3.19 The higher figures show a recent upsurge in housebuilding in the East Midlands, including stronger markets in urban areas, which the emerging Regional Plan will accommodate in line with its sequential policies. 3.20 Provision in Northamptonshire met its annual MKSM strategy target in 2005/06 and has risen for the last three years. The total requirement to 2021 is, however, currently subject to revision. 3.21 The trajectories could possibly be refined in future to incorporate short term forecasts of annual completions, rather than simple linear projections, drawing on the trajectories in LDF Annual Monitoring Reports. 3.22 Vacancy rates show no consistent trend either within or between areas.The net effect is a steady rate at regional level, so there is no progress so far towards the assumption of a half % reduction over the RSS period. It should be noted, however, that unlike the consultation draft Regional Plan this is a working assumption, not a policy target. The source used for vacancy rates in this report is different from that in the consultation draft Regional Plan. 3.23 The total identified housing supply (planning permissions and allocations) has only risen significantly from last year in Leicester and Leicestershire (allowing for under-counting in Northamptonshire last year). 3.24 Housing supply is not always measured by local authorities as set out in Table 3.7. In particular small sites (usually under 10 dwellings) are included in Table 3.7 but do not always come forward for development. On the other hand urban capacity and windfall allowances are not included. 3.25 Local authorities were not asked for details of their level of urban capacity for this report, as urban capacity studies are not updated annually, and there are difficulties in confirming a consistent approach. There are, however, estimates of supply from such sources in Appendix 2 of the consultation draft Regional Plan, which will if possible be updated to 2006. Policy 18: Regional Priorities for Affordable Housing The level of affordable housing to be provided should be justified by local housing needs assessments, preferably based on housing market or journey to work areas as well as an assessment of the viability of seeking a particular proportion of affordable housing from such developments. Targets: Around 3,400 dwellings per annum (i.e. 25% of requirement).When Northamptonshire is included this figure becomes 3,950 Indicators: • Affordable housing completions by Local Authority areas • Ratio of wage rates and housing costs Results: Affordable Housing Completions - Significant Effect Indicator East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 33
