This website has been set up by a group of professional bodies, trade associations and charities with an interest in planning for housing. The Group came together in 2011 in response to a call from practitioners for practical support in assessing how many homes were needed in their areas in the context of the new housing and planning landscape. A Companion Guide has been written which provides some context to assessing the housing needed in local areas. This should help when looking at the toolkits. The Companion Guide also provides information on the process for looking at ‘housing need’.
