Evidence, data and monitoring
SHMA 2019
The Council commissioned housing specialist arc4 Ltd to produce a new Bradford SHMA and Local Housing Needs Study to support the Core Strategy Partial Review - Preferred Options in 2019. The SHMA provides a detailed understanding of the District's housing market and future housing needs.
The study provides an evidence base for estimating local housing need and demand across the District, consider future demographic trends, and identify the housing requirements of specific groups such as BME households, first time buyers, families with children, people with disabilities and older people.
The study involves extensive engagement with local residents and stakeholders, including detailed household and stakeholder surveys.
As part of the consultation on the Core Strategy Partial Review, the Council undertook a stakeholder event on Wednesday, 20 March 2019. The presentation information from this event is available below.
