NEW OUTPUTS
The role of the planning system in delivering
housing choice for older Londoners
This study was commissioned
by the Greater London Authority to investigate the role of planning in meeting
the housing needs of older Londoners. It is partly a ‘think piece’ to look
specifically at the role of the planning system in helping to ensure that older
Londoners have a choice of homes that they can afford and which meet their
requirements for different sizes and types of dwellings in high quality
environments. The study also includes original research on the scale of need
for specialist housing at local level.
The findings of the study have been used to inform the Housing SPG and it is
expected that the study will be of use to Boroughs in the development of
polices related to older persons housing. The findings of the study will inform
the further alterations to the London Plan with a view to strengthening policy
on the delivery of older persons housing (further work may be required on older
persons needs for other specialist services). In addition, the report will be
of use to the Mayor’s Housing and Investment Teams, when updating the Housing
Strategy and making funding decisions. To download the report go to CCHPR Publications
Mapping the number of extra housing units needed for young people
Centrepoint, the youth
homeless charity, commissioned CCHPR to undertake this piece of work looking at
the requirement for emergency homeless accommodation, supporting housing units,
social housing and private rented housing with the use of Housing Benefit
across England with a specific focus on the requirements for those aged 16-25.

Support in the preparation of a housing strategy for Jersey
The States of Jersey has commissioned CCHPR to provide support to its
embryonic Strategic Housing unit in the preparation of an island wide, cross
tenure Housing Strategy. The project comprises a series of papers for
discussion with officers and the relevant Ministers between November 2012 and
April 2013, leading to the production of a public Consulation Paper for
circulation in May and a final Strategy Paper for debate in the States Assembly
in June/July 2013. For further details go to CCHPR projects
