A group of property experts led by Tristan Fitzgerald Associates (TFA) and BNP Paribas Real Estate has put together a paper assessing the impact that localism will have on future housing delivery and puts forward seven recommendations for how the Government will house the nation under localism. The research examined the effects of the proposed scrapping of Regional Spatial Strategies and Core Strategies on the forecast supply of housing across England. The results showed that half of England’s 291 local authorities have confirmed their housing target as being the same as set out in their RSS which translates to targets amounting to just over 85,000 new houses per year being confirmed. A further 14% of local authorities have confirmed a change with only 2% increasing their targets, while 12% made cuts. The average change among those authorities which altered their targets, both up and down, was a cut of 20.6%. The research also shows that of the remaining 36% of local authorities yet to confirm their targets 90% have indicated they will not be sticking with the RSS targets.
