The Policy Direction offers very little direction at all, solely stating that the Councils will have regard to the latest evidence when drafting this policy in full.

Affordable Housing

There is an acute affordability problem across the South Warwickshire Plan area. The HEDNA considered that the estimated annual need for affordable housing (rented and affordable home ownership) across Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick is 1,386 dwellings per annum. The Further Advice on Housing & Employment Land Needs report suggests that the affordable housing need has worsened, with the number of households on the two authorities housing registers having climbed from 7,048 in April 2021 to 7,684 in April 2023.

The Further Advice on Housing & Employment Land Needs report indicates that at least 2,772 dpa should be delivered in order to meet South Warwickshire’s affordable housing needs in full. It is imperative for the Councils to consider this when determining the total number of homes to plan for, as per the NPPG.

Housing for Older People

Any policy requirements for housing for older people must be justified and underpinned by the latest evidence on this matter.
