Bromsgrove District Council Housing Market Assessment

Earlier in 2008, BDHT, in partnership with the Council, West Mercia Housing Group, Servite Houses and Bromford Housing Group commissioned a Housing Market Assessment for the Bromsgrove District through the Housing Vision Consultancy / Centre for Comparative Housing Research, The Bridge Group and Kim Sangster Associates.

The assessment is now completed and focuses on addressing five key questions:

·How can we define the Housing Market Area for Bromsgrove?

·Who lives in the Bromsgrove area? How might this change, and what are

the implications for determining the future need and demand for housing in

the area?

·What choices do consumers have in the local housing market? What are

the gaps in the pattern of supply and how affordable is local housing?

·What is the projected future need for housing in Bromsgrove?

·What are the implications of this analysis for intervening in the local

housing market?
