Coalition Government policies and the abolition of Regional Strategies (RS) has heralded a new era of localism and locally defined housing requirements. NLP has responded to this change by establishing HEaDROOM - a Local Housing Requirement Model. This provides a robust, transparent, evidence-led approach to understanding future housing requirements. Built around an understanding of the role of housing in meeting needs of the current and future population and the close relationship between housing and economic wellbeing, HEaDROOM also takes account of policy drivers such as the vision for the area and the nature of delivery constraints, including infrastructure, environmental capacity and the market.
NLP Associate Director, Simon Coop, said "The localism agenda has fundamentally changed the landscape of planning and has placed new requirements upon local planning authorities and developers. HEaDROOM represents a clear response to this change and will provide a firm basis for local authorities and developers to appraise and shape the local housing requirements that will determine approaches to new housing supply."
