Respondent: Leamington Society
The Leamington Society supports the 40% requirement for affordable housing.
With reference to PO6 (Housing) WDC should also appreciate that HMOs now occupy many of the smaller and more affordable family houses, particularly in the south of Leamington (Old Town). The absence of any policy to restrict the many recent conversions to HMOs has aggravated the problem of affordable housing: they are so profitable for landlords that poorer families are priced out of the market.
