Notes

6.2.1. Issue: Setting the right level of housing need. Government policy requires local authorities to use the Standard Method to calculate how much new housing they will need. The Standard Method uses the expected change in the number of households over time as the starting point and adjusts that figure to take account of how affordable homes are in the borough. The Standard Method calculates that we would need to deliver 141 new homes per year. This would mean a total of 2,961 homes would be required by 2043. However, Government policy also permits local authorities to set an alternative target if they want to plan for growth. This may include instances where new employment developments would lead to a need for more housing, for instance. The current adopted plan identified a need that was not able to be met within Tamworth, and that unmet need is being delivered through the local plans of Lichfield and North Warwickshire. On that basis, we propose to use the standard method figure of 2,961 as the starting point for this plan. However, to make sure the number is considered up to date when the plan reaches examination, it will need to be updated later in the process.
