Angus Council Housing Need & Demand Assessment Steering Group Meeting 16th December 2009
Aims of Session • To detail methodology for disaggregating the requirement for affordable housing • To review disaggregated model outcomes • To agree assumptions for projections: future housing need/supply • To agree structure and presentation of final report
Current Need X (a quota) Newly Arising Need Plus Minus Supply of Affordable Housing Equals Affordable Housing Need Calculation Net Shortfall/ Surplus
Affordable Housing Need Calculation • Current Need: Unsuitable Housing • Homeless or with insecure tenure: 175 • Concealed Households: 219 • Overcrowding: 779 • Special Needs: 3,194 • Poor Condition: 428 • Harassment: 127 • Current Need = 4,922
Affordable Housing Need Calculation • Total Current Need – Eliminate: • ‘In situ solutions’: • Provision of aids/adaptations/support = 680 • Net ‘Special Need’ figure = 2,514 • Net ‘Current Need’ figure = 4,242 • Then eliminate • % can meet need in private housing market • 52% households can meet market entry price • Net Current Need = 2,206
Affordable Housing Need Calculation • Newly Arising Need • New household formation: 771 • Eliminate new formers who can afford to meet market entry level prices (32%) • Existing households falling into need: 724 • Change in household circumstances including annual flow of homeless households • Newly Arising Estimate = 1,248
Affordable Housing Need Calculation • Affordable Housing Supply • Affordable housing relets: 1,075 • Committed new affordable supply: 50 • Turnover net of units taken out of management: 0 demolitions • Annual Supply Estimate = 1,125
Affordable Housing Need Calculation • Interim Calculation Estimate • Current need = 4,922 • Net current need = 2,206 • Net annual current need = 221 (10 years) • Annual newly arising need = 1,248 • Annual total need = 1,469 • Annual affordable supply = 1,125 • Estimated shortfall = -344 • 10 year Est. shortfall = -3,440
Projecting Future Need • Aggregated Housing Needs Analysis: • assumes the current profile of housing supply can meet the type of need identified • assumes need is met over 5 year period • Disaggregated Analysis: • determines if supply is ‘fit for purpose’ • detailed match of households to homes by size, area, property type and tenure • assesses if annual need is met by supply and extent to which backlog can be reduced • identifies length of time to address backlog • provides detailed profile of housing shortfall/ surplus to inform strategic planning

Model Overview • Disaggregated Methodology • Model Assumptions • Backlog • Newly Arising Need • Supply • Model Outputs • Key Questions
Base Assumptions • The model is based on the 3 components of the aggregated HNADA calculation • Backlog figure • Newly arising need figure • Supply figure • 10 year projections model • Data input by HMA, Size, Type • 4 Housing Market Areas • North HMA (Brechin & Montrose), • East HMA (Arbroath), • South HMA (Carnoustie, Monifieth & Sidlaws), • West HMA (Forfar, Kirriemuir, Angus Glens)
Base Assumptions • Size: Bedrooms 1 to 5 • Property Type • General Needs • Special Needs • Wheelchair • Accommodation without Stairs • Sheltered • Supported
Base Assumptions • Input by 7 components of need and split by area and size based on analysis of survey or council datasets • Homeless Households = 136 • Insecure Tenure = 39 • Concealed Households = 219 • Overcrowding = 779 • Special Housing: net of in-situ solutions = 2,514 • Poor Quality = 428 • Harassment = 127 • TOTAL = 4,242 • Facility in model to input projected increase/decreases on base assumptions • Affordability outcomes applied by HMA
Housing Affordability • Disaggregated Outcomes by HMA • Net Backlog of Current Need (Angus) = 2,121 • Net Backlog of Current Need (4 HMA) = 2,212 • New Formers Affordability (Angus) = 524 • New Formers Affordability (4 HMA) = 461
Newly Arising Need Assumptions • New Formation – split by area, size and type based on survey data = 771 • Assumption : All General Needs • Affordability Factor : applied by HMA • Facility to increase/decrease per annum • Homelessness input by area, size and type based on analysis of HL1 dataset = 724 • Assumption : All General Needs? • Increase p.a. according to 2012 target • 724 = 2008/09 (85% priority assessment) • Increased to 100% (2009/10 – 2012/13)
Supply Assumptions • Council & RSL stock calculation, split by HMA, size and type • Adjusted for long term voids and units taken out of management • Council & RSL relet rate established by area and type based on turnover analysis • Applied to stock to translate into annual supply of affordable dwellings by area, size and type • Facility to model increase/decrease in supply and turnover rate
Baseline Year Supply Assumptions • Total Affordable Stock = 10,866 • Angus Council = 7,817 • RSL’s = 3,049 units • Adjusted for RTB Projections • 31 units per annum (average 2009-19) • AC HRA Business Plan assumptions • Adjusted for demolitions = 0 • Turnover rate by HMA/type applied to stock to produce vacancies • Angus Council Ave for GN stock = 7% • RSL Ave for GN stock 6%
Baseline Year Supply Assumptions • New Affordable Housing Supply • Based on TAYplan assumptions • Based on AHIP budget and £74k cost per unit • Reduction in AHIP of 25% from 2009/10 level • Projected over 10 years • 49 units per annum • Split new housing by area, size and type as per the current stock profile • Relet rate based on 50% of the average RSL rate (3%)
Disaggregated Outcomes • Key Outcomes • Year 1: 2,439 households have unmet need • Year 5: 3,228 households have unmet need • Year 10: 4,399 households have unmet need • Headlines at Year 5 • Shortfall of affordable housing highest in South (-1,605) & West (-1,339) HMA’s • Shortfall of affordable housing greatest in 4 bedroom properties: (-1,188) (35%) • 85% of shortfall is in General Needs housing • 15% of shortfall is in Special Needs housing
Disaggregated Outcomes • Key Drivers in Increasing Shortfall • Baseline backlog current need = -2,277 • Average annual shortfall = -193 • Minimum shortfall = - 53 (baseline year) • Maximum shortfall = -238 (Year 10) • Annual shortfalls increase as a result of: • Increasing number of annual homeless households • Reducing stock numbers • Cumulative annual shortfall = -2,122 • Backlog + total annual shortfall = -4,399
HNADA Conclusions – Key Issues
Market Housing Requirement: Key Issues • There are significant differences in market housing demand between HMA’s • Demand concentrated in the South HMA • Since 2007 there has been a significant drop in the level of sales activity within the market (30%) • For modelling purposes, it is anticipated that the market will to its 2007 level by Year 10 • The evidence supports the view that by 2019 there will be a shortfall of over 6,000 market dwellings throughout Angus
Market Housing Requirement: Key Issues • Difficult to predict the likely pattern of market recovery the evidence suggests that high quality market housing for older households is likely to be a robust market sector • Given the assumptions used within the model the land requirement for market housing can be assessed by: • (Known current land bank) – (land requirement for assumed level of new build within model (290 units)) + (land requirement to meet unmet need of 6,000 households)
Recommendations • The number of households in need does NOT equal number of units to be delivered • Need could be met through range of interventions programmed though LHS: • developing partnerships with the private rented sector; • tackling private sector disrepair; • using assistive technology to promote independence in older people; • tackling and preventing homelessness; • making better use of the current affordable and private stock; • developing flexible tenure options;and • increasing housing supply.

Recommendations • AC should prepare an action plan • quantify potential impact of each intervention • set targets for projected impact on overall level of unmet need • Residual need should be starting point for supply target setting • This process should consider • land capacity • development industry capacity • availability of development funding • corporate vision: Strategic Outcome Agreement
