Meeting Housing Needs SPD - July 2008

Meeting Housing Needs - Adoption Statement

Meeting Housing Needs - Consultation Statement

It supercedes the provisions of the Meeting Housing Needs in Stratford-on-Avon District SPG - June 2006.

The SPD reflects key changes since 2006, including the findings of the Joint Housing Assessment for South Warwickshire and revised Government policy set out in Planning Policy Statement 3 : Housing. It provides detailed guidance on the implementation of housing related policies in the adopted Local Plan Review and seeks to:

• Boost the supply of affordable housing;
• Secure the effective delivery and implementation of housing, and
• Improve the sustainability of new housing

It will be kept under review with regard to changes from other Local Development Framework documents and the Regional Spatial Strategy Revision.
