Housing Needs Assessment Content Requirements

The Housing Needs Assessment must set regional market context, identify housing trends and drivers, assess impacts on wider housing market, and identify the range of housing needs across specified categories.

The HNA will: • set the regional housing market context within which such specific housing needs exist; • highlight housing trends to provide a descriptive baseline and draw attention to any issues that are significant; • analyse housing trends and the factors that are driving the housing market and give an indication of the relative importance of those drivers; • assess the impacts of local housing needs on the wider housing market; and • identify the range of housing needs.
