Q-H2-1: What is the best way to significantly increase the supply of affordable housing across South Warwickshire?

The Parish Council considers the problem of providing affordable homes in high land and house price areas has proved intractable nationally so that affordable and social housing numbers have declined sharply. Large sites are much more likely to deliver affordable housing either for rent or shared ownership.

Option H2-2a: A single South Warwickshire wide affordable housing requirement

selected

Option H2-2b: Separate affordable housing requirements for Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Districts

selected

Option H2-2c: A more localised approach with separate affordable housing requirements for different localities across South Warwickshire

selected

Q-H2-3: How should South Warwickshire best address the specialist needs for older people?

Q-H2-2: The Parish Council considers the HEDNA analysis indicates that half of all housing growth results from a shortage of affordable homes. With regard to the above options, larger sites are much more likely to deliver affordable housing either for rent or shared ownership. The issue with the lack of social housing is due to Local Authorities not building any such housing, over a long period of time. During this period a vast number of tenants have taken advantage of their right to purchase their home after just 5 years’ occupancy. This situation and distortion of the housing market is grossly unfair to those Local Authorities who recognise their responsibility in this area and to individuals who search in vain for a home at an affordable rent. Warwick and Stratford District Councils should work in conjunction with housing associations and the Rural Housing Associations that have delivered housing in the past to re-establish their role of providing rented housing for those who work in their area. QH2.3 The Parish Council consider that the best way of addressing this social concern is at a local level, where local voluntary / church groups can be very effective. Local grants to assist such organisations should be made available, and Parish and Town Councils are often well placed to assist with such initiatives.

Respondent: Rowington Parish Council

Q-H4-1: Do you agree with the approach of contributing to meeting the Birmingham and Black Country HMA shortfall to 2031 on the identified sites in Stratford-on-Avon District?

Nothing chosen

Q-H4-2: Please add any comments you wish to make about the scale of the shortfall from the Birmingham and Black Country HMA that South Warwickshire should accommodate within the South Warwickshire Local Plan

The Parish Council recognise that South Warwickshire Local Plan has a duty to collaborate with the neighbouring authorities. The demand and need which comes from Birmingham and the Black Country is mainly for affordable homes. The problem of providing affordable homes in high land and house price areas has proved intractable nationally so that affordable and social housing numbers have declined sharply. The issues with the lack of social housing is due to Local Authorities not building any such housing, over a long period of time and which should be addressed.

Q-H4-3: If we are required to meet housing shortfalls from outside of South Warwickshire, how best and where should we accommodate such shortfalls?

The Parish Council question why should Warwickshire be catering for Birmingham issues when there are significant brownfield sites which should be developed for housing first, with in particular, affordable housing to meet the workforce needs of that area. Building on the green belt is a cheap option and irresponsible.
