2017-04-11 P&E Agenda Attachment 1 to Item 1 Housing Needs Assessment

       A lack of accessible or adaptable housing for older people and people with special needs;
       A mismatch of housing size and household size (albeit some may be by choice or
        circumstance);
       A shortage of affordable and appropriate aged accommodation;
       A lack of housing diversity, and particularly smaller dwellings;
       Low levels of social and emergency housing;
       Conflict between resident and visitor accommodation.

The study will focus on investigation of these issues, and inform the forthcoming planning
scheme with the aim of addressing these issues to the extent possible through land use planning.
Other mechanisms and policy recommendations may also be required to overcome entrenched
issues which are outside the scope of the planning scheme.
