Westminster – Housing Needs Assessment 2006The survey asked households whether they were aware of a number of different intermediatehousing products. The table below indicates the response that was obtained from households inneed. The table shows that some 72.1% of households in need were not aware of any of theintermediate housing options listed. Awareness of shared ownership amongst households in needwas the greatest, with 20.6% of households familiar with it, some 17.2% of households in needwere aware of key worker living schemes and only 8.3% aware of discounted market sale.Table 10.11 Number of households in need aware of intermediatehousing productsProductHouseholds inneed% of householdsin needShared Ownership 1,318 20.6%Key Worker living schemes 1,102 17.2%Discounted Market Sale 529 8.3%Not aware of any 4,611 72.1%Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 200610.7 A longer term view of the housing requirementThe main assessment of the requirement for additional affordable housing has been based on a fiveyear time period (as required by ODPM guidance, Section 2.4 (page 25)). It is however possible toextend this period further into the future. We have considered below what the requirement foradditional affordable housing would be over a ten year period following the same approach as setout in the preceding chapters.The annual estimates of newly arising need and supply are unchanged but the backlog of need hasbeen divided by ten (rather than five as suggested in the Guide) to spread it over the ten year period.The table below summarises the results up to 2016 and indicates a shortfall of around 5,448affordable homes per year. Assuming the level of supply remains the same over this period, the totalrequirement to 2016 would be around 54,480 additional affordable homes (i.e. 5,448 per year forthe 10 years to 2016). These figures are however less robust than the estimated requirement overfive years.PAGE 100

SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE UNITSAffordable supply 774Overall shortfall/Surplus 5,448Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 2006The Housing Needs Assessment in the City of Westminster followed guidance from The ODPM in‘Local Housing Needs Assessment: A Guide to Good Practice’. This involved estimates of the‘Backlog of existing need’, ‘Newly arising need’ and future supply to estimate the current surplusor shortfall of affordable housing in the City of Westminster. Using this model it is estimated thatfor the next five years there will be a shortfall of 5,621 affordable housing units per annum in theCity.The survey indicates that a third of this need could be met by intermediate housing, although furtheranalysis indicates that intermediate housing would have to be priced at the lower end of theintermediate housing band for its potential to be maximised.PAGE 101
