  1. HNDA refresh and tool CHMA presentation to BESAC 28 June 2012

  2. HNDA Stocktake • The majority of local and planning authorities have completed the first round of Housing Need and Demand Assessments (HNDAs). • In autumn 2010, the Scottish Government met with them to discuss their experiences and identify issues for review. • This stock take built on evidence collected as HNDAs were drafted.

  3. Results of the Stock-take • The HNDA review made a number of recommendations over areas that should be examined: • Handling High/Low HNDA Results • Aligning: HNDA/Main Issues Reports/Local Housing Strategies/Local Development Plans • Define ‘Generous’ Land Supply • Housing Market Partnership Advice • Reduce Cost & Complexity

  4. HNDA Refresh • Housing Market Partnership advice and reducing cost and complexity are being taken forward through a refresh of the HNDA guidance. This will be undertaken with the following in mind: • no changes to principles and purpose, more about clarification • clarify links to other policy areas/documents and timescales • CHMA has investigated the possibility of producing an HNDA tool that could be distributed nationally but used locally to reduce the cost and complexity of HNDA production.

  5. CHMA development of HNDA tool • Result was desire to refresh and simplify guidance and explore possibility of producing HNDA tool. • Make it simpler, cheaper and more transparent to produce HNDA analysis • Model to not be compulsory but viewed as a tool to save time and money • Important to see in context of whole HNDA process

  6. Basic principles • Not a National model but a tool to perform local analysis • Optional – if not liked then don’t use • Model inputs can be overridden e.g. backlog need • Assumptions can be changed (Yellow boxes overleaf) • This will be possible in “real-time” – groups can sit and discuss assumptions and see impact immediately • Key is that if model is used, choices must be considered and justified to receive “Fit for use” status

  7. Development • Model is being developed with Local Authority level data • Simplest • Allows greatest ease of testing • But will have capacity to populate with other spatial levels • Approach CHMA - discussion on data validity at chosen scale and practicalities • Populate yourselves • Number of comments received already and being incorporated.

  8. Next steps • Prototype model to be produced by late June/early July • Iterative development process with users after this point - Looking for pilot groups to help test and influence development • Guidance will also be refreshed • No changes to principles and purpose, more about clarification • Split off technical details – allows policy messages to be clearer • Clarify links to other policy areas/documents and timescales
