Report Highlights Desperate Housing Needs

A new report by leading housing and planning charity the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA), shows that there remains a serious housing shortage facing England. New and novel household projections for England with a 2008 base, by Alan Holman with Christine Whitehead, is the first analysis of the 2008 based Communities and Local Government Department household figures. These figures used a new methodology to assess household formation and reveal the different types of households that are emerging, the biggest innovation being that household types are now broken down by number of children. The analysis projects 234,000 additional households forming per year on top of the backlog of unmet housing needs.Download a copy from the TCPA website.
