Westminster – Housing Needs Assessment 2006Table 14.6 Size of dwellings (number of bedrooms) for olderperson only householdsNumber of bedrooms% of older personhouseholds% of non-olderperson households1 bedroom 31.4% 31.1%2 bedrooms 30.5% 29.1%3 bedrooms 37.6% 28.8%4+ bedrooms 0.4% 11.0%TOTAL 100.0% 100.0%Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 2006This information can be further broken down by tenure (for older person households) and this isshown in the table below. The table indicates that whilst the majority of large (3+ bedroom)properties are in the owner-occupied sector there are also a significant number in the social rentedsector and may therefore present some opportunity to reduce under-occupation.TenureTable 14.7 Older person only households size of accommodation and tenureSize of accommodation1 bed 2 bed 3 bed 4+ bed TOTALOwner-occupied (no mortgage) 829 3,337 6,742 89 10,997Owner-occupied (with mortgage) 0 548 292 0 840Council 2,435 509 217 0 3,161RSL 2,094 559 86 0 2,739Private rented 884 1,096 133 0 2,113TOTAL 6,242 6,049 7,470 89 19,850Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 200614.5 Accommodation preferencesAlthough just 2,539 older person only households (12.8%) expressed a need or expectation to movewithin the next 5 years it is of value to look at the type of accommodation preferred by thesehouseholds. It is important to note that as so few older person only households anticipate moving inthe next five years, the sample size is significantly reduced and the results of this section should betreated with caution.The table below presents the type of property preferred by these older person only households thatare likely/need to move in the next five years alongside the type of property they expect to move to.The table indicates that a greater number of older person only households would like to live in asemi-detached house than would expect to, with the reverse true for a flat/maisonette. Aflat/maisonette is however the dwelling type most commonly preferred.PAGE 132

The data indicates thatolder person only households have similar expectations to what they would like. However, the datadoes show that a greater proportion of older person only households would expect a residential carehome than would like to move to it. Ordinary residential accommodation is the preferredaccommodation for over half of older person only households.Table 14.9 Accommodation type aspirations and expectations forolder person only householdsAccommodation type Like ExpectSheltered housing 13.6% 13.6%Supported housing 11.5% 11.5%Extra Care Housing 14.3% 3.4%Residential Care Home 0.0% 11.0%A bungalow 0.0% 0.0%Ordinary residential accommodation 60.6% 60.6%Total 100.0% 100.0%Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 200614.6 Older person households and the basic needs assessment modelSome 11.6% of all older person only households (2,301 households) in the City of Westminster livein unsuitable housing. This figure is above the figure of 10.2% for all households.In addition we can look at older persons needs using the basic needs assessment model. Followingthis method suggests that there is an annual need to provide accommodation for 215 older personhouseholds. Data from the Council on recent lettings in the social rented stock in Westminsterindicate that there was a supply of 101 dwellings per year over the last two years from older personsaccommodation. Therefore the BNAM suggests a shortfall of affordable housing for older personsof 114 units per annum.PAGE 133
