Representation ID: 8718

Received: 21/06/2021

Respondent: Mr David Tait

Representation Summary:

Housing need and affordability - ref NNPF para 20
Affordability in the North Herts area is significantly worse than the national average of 7.5 times salery
Housing need is very much affected by affordability. With house pricing at 13.3 x average salary, the need adjustment calculations produce an Adjustment factor of 1.58 times the basic housing need figures
This uplift is not adequately recorded in the NHDC housing need total figures either
