Issue - meetings

The Working Party considered a report on the key findings of the Bromsgrove Housing Market Assessment (HMA) and on the implications of these findings for the formulation of policies within the Draft Core Strategy. Members focused on the figures set out in section 4.6 of the report which identified the housing requirements of each type arising from household growth by 2026. 

It was reported that the results of the HMA had been utilised to inform a number of Core Policies within the Draft Core Strategy including not only detailed housing policies but also transport and employment policies. The HMA would also be used by Bromsgrove District Housing Trust to support this Authority’s position in relation to housing growth.

RESOLVED  that the key findings of the Bromsgrove Housing Market Assessment be noted, together with its role in informing policies within the Draft Core Strategy.
