Figure 3.6 - Ratio of House Price to Salaries 2006 (Q2) No data for Derbyshire Dales Source: House Prices Land Registry April to June 2006 Salaries: ASHE Mean Gross annual earnings of residents 2005 Note different years used to calculate ratio Data Analysis 3.26 Affordable housing completions in the East Midlands have increased from 1,534 in 2003/04 and 1,406 in 2004/05 to 2,079 in 2005/06. The target figure for affordable housing is to achieve 3,400 dwellings per annum in the East Midlands (excluding Northamptonshire). Although still below this target progress is being made. 3.27 Mean house prices across the East Midlands have not changed much in 2006 compared to 2005 following a number of years that saw significant price rises. 3.28 A comparison of average house prices and average income levels at district level for the East Midlands (a measure of affordability) shows a range of outcomes across the East Midlands, although the pattern for 2006 remains similar to that in 2005. There are a number of areas that have experienced industrial decline where house prices have remained constrained compared to incomes, while other, often rural areas, show a higher ratio of house prices to average incomes. Policy Commentary 3.29 Affordable housing provision rose significantly in 2005/06, but still remains below target. Although significant progress is being made, it is clear that affordable housing is not being delivered to the extent that the RSS states is required. Information has been provided by the Housing Corporation on completions they have funded and the level of funding that may be available in the future. This does include an element of acquiring existing stock. The remaining affordable housing needs to be negotiated through Section 106 agreements, and some of that may require additional public subsidy. Levels of finance are a major constraint to meeting affordable housing targets. 3.30 The issues of affordability and affordable housing targets are now being reviewed in much more detail by the ten Housing Market Assessments across the region. Policy 19: Regional Priorities for Managing the Release of Land for Housing RSS states a need to work jointly across administrative boundaries to manage to release of sites to ensure a sustainable pattern of development is achieved. Priority areas of action include the built up areas of Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton, Nottingham (including parts of Eastern Derbyshire), Chesterfield, Mansfield and across regional boundaries.

East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 36 Targets: - Indicator: • Phasing policies in place in Local Development Documents (LDDs) Results: 3.31 Fifteen (42%) local authorities in 2005/06 indicated that they did have phasing policies for managing the release of land for housing in their local development documents or local plans. Data Analysis 3.32 Not all local authorities responded to this question but it is known from last year’s (2004/05) responses to this question that seventeen local authorities had such phasing policies in place. Policy Commentary 3.33 Phasing policies are not required for authorities that fall outside the priority areas, so 100% coverage is not expected. Also some existing Local Plans may not extend sufficiently far into the future to need them. 3.34 Although not covered by the indicator, considerable joint working has been involved in drafting the Sub-Regional Strategies in the consultation draft Regional Plan. These include consideration of phasing policies, so implementation of Policy 19 is not necessarily dependant on phasing policies in LDDs, most of which are at an early stage. They cover all the priority areas listed except Northampton. 3.35 Northampton is covered by the Milton Keynes and South Midlands Sub-Regional Strategy.The three North East North West Yorkshire and the Humber East Midlands West Midlands East of England London South East South West England 47 68 57 43 55 54 89 62 45 59 45 70 55 48 60 59 90 66 49 60 57 72 63 54 67 58 90 66 48 64 authorities of Northampton, Daventry and South Northamptonshire are committed to preparing a Joint Core Spatial Strategy to bring forward development.This area is known as West Northamptonshire, and an Urban Development Corporation has been established, with development control powers, known as West Northamptonshire Development Corporation. In North Northamptonshire a Joint Planning Unit supported by the local authorities has been established to bring forward a Core Spatial Strategy covering Corby, Kettering,Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire. Policy 20: A Regional Target for Re-using Previously Developed Land and Buildings for Housing Local Authorities, economic development strategies, developers and other agencies should employ policies and select sites in order to contribute to the achievement of a target of 60% of additional dwellings on PDL and through conversions by 2021 at the Regional level.
