Strategic Housing Market Assessment
In September 2007 Fordham Research Ltd
completed a Strategic Housing Market Assessment covering seven
Local Authority Areas in the Northern area of the East
Midlands. The Authorities covered were Bassetlaw,
Ashfield, Mansfield, Newark & Sherwood, Bolsover, Chesterfield
and North East Derbyshire.
The Strategic Housing Market Assessment sets
out a framework allowing local Authorities to develop a good
understanding of how Housing Markets operate in their area.
It assesses Housing Need and Demand, and informs Local Development
Frameworks, as well as Regional Spatial Strategy Planning.
Four documents arising from the
research undertaken by Fordham can be found below. These
area as follows:-
This deals primarily with the Bassetlaw Area
This covers four local Authorities Areas of
Bassetlaw, Chesterfield, Bolsover and North East Derbyshire (the
Northern HMA). These Local Authorities are seen as having
close links to the Sheffield City Region and their Housing Markets
are seen to be significantly influenced by this region. The
four Local Authorities in the Northern HMA are working together in
partnership with the Sheffield City Region on a range of issues to
ensure future housing development meets housing needs of both local
communities as well as the region as an entity.
This report covers all of the research
undertaken by Fordham including the four Authorities in the
Northern HMA (Bassetlaw, Chesterfield, Bolsover and NE
Derbyshire) as well as the three Authorities in the Nottingham
Outer HMA (Ashfield, Mansfield and Newark and
Sherwood). As well as taking into account the influence
of the Sheffield City Region the report also takes account of the
influence of other major cities in the region (i.e. Nottingham and
Derby), which for Bassetlaw have far less impact than the
settlements in South Yorkshire.
