Respondent: Rod Bond
Student housing continues to be an issue within the area, with a lot of houses occupied by students, if more purpose built accommodation, like the new development (Station House) opposite Leamington Train Station was created then houses currently occupied by students could either be made available to rent or buy on the open market.
Figures should be collated to show the number of houses currently occupied by students in the area to see if changing these use of these properties and building additional purpose build student accommodation will help.
In addition how many properties are currently empty in the area. Although I doubt this number is significant, it would help in understanding if this could also assist in achieving the housing requirement
