Joint Housing Assessment for South Warwickshire

In 2005 Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Warwick District Council commissioned Outside Research and Development Ltd. to undertake a Joint Housing Assessment for South Warwickshire covering the two districts. The Assessment was completed in October 2006. It was approved for publication by Stratford-on-Avon District Council on Monday 23 April 2007. The District Council has agreed to treat the Joint Housing Assessment as a material consideration for development control purposes in relation to all relevant planning applications and appeals.

The Assessment was published in the form of three different reports. The first report Housing Markets of South Warwickshire - Final Report August 2006 provides information on a range of economic and social factors within the two districts including labour market and the economy, housing market characteristics, the demand for market housing and the need for affordable housing.

The other two reports are Housing Needs of Stratford-on-Avon District - Final Report August 2006 and Housing Needs of Warwick District - Final Report August 2006. Both of these reports include district specific information about households, affordability, specially commissioned sections on the housing needs of older people and key worker households, housing moves and finally the need for affordable housing including detailed affordable housing needs models.

Downloads of Housing Markets of South Warwickshire and Housing Needs of Stratford-on-Avon District are available from this page. Housing Needs of Warwick District is available from the Warwick District Council website.
