5. HOUSING NEEDS IN SOUTH DERBYSHIRE<br />
5.1 Generally<br />
5.1.1 The <strong>Council</strong> has an on-going programme of studies, which assess future housing<br />
needs for the district. This includes studies that look at the housing needs of<br />
specific groups such as gypsies and travellers, black and minority ethnic groups<br />
and local housing needs in rural parishes with populations of less than 3,000.<br />
5.1.2 As a growing district the <strong>Council</strong> recognises the need to understand the<br />
housing pressures of our neighbouring districts and how people move across<br />
administrative boundaries. To strengthen our understanding of the housing market,<br />
since publication of the 2004 <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong> we have taken steps to proactively<br />
work in partnership with our neighbouring districts. This includes jointly funding<br />
the Derby Sub-region Strategic <strong>Housing</strong> Market Assessment, the <strong>Derbyshire</strong> wide<br />
Gypsy and Travellers research and working with our regional partners to review<br />
the condition and energy efficiency of the private sector housing stock.<br />
5.2 <strong>Housing</strong> needs in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Derbyshire</strong><br />
5.2.1 In 2007/08 the <strong>Council</strong> worked in partnership with Derby City to jointly fund both<br />
a district-wide Strategic <strong>Housing</strong> Market Assessment and a Derby sub-region<br />
Strategic <strong>Housing</strong> Market Assessment. The district assessment was published<br />
in the autumn of 2008; the sub-regional study was published in May <strong>2009</strong>. The<br />
following sets out the key findings from these two studies.<br />
