Westminster – Housing Needs Assessment 2006(i) Percentage targetThe Guide to Housing Needs Assessments has its own proposals on how targets should becalculated (contained within Table 8.1 of the Guide). It is therefore worth pursuing the suggestedODPM method to show the expected result. The table below shows an estimate of the likelysuggested percentage target from following the ODPM method.Table 10.4 Calculation of affordable housing target: following ODPMmethodologyElementDwellings (per annum)Affordable housing requirement 5,621Minus affordable supply from non S106 sites (estd)* -0EQUALS 5,621Projected building rate † 680Minus sites below threshold (assumed) -0Minus affordable supply from non S106 sites (estd)* -0EQUALS 680Therefore Target is 5,621/680EQUALS 827%* Information obtained from the Council’s 2004/5 HSSA return (average number of dwellings built without section 106between 2004/05 and 2006/07)† Annual build rate required 1997-2016 as documented in the London PlanSource: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 200610.6 Intermediate housingHaving considered the level of housing need in the City it is interesting to study what types ofaffordable housing might be most appropriate to meet this need. In principle there are two broadcategories of housing which can be considered (intermediate housing and social rented).Intermediate housing can be defined as housing (irrespective of tenure) priced between social rentsand the market. Existing intermediate housing options suggest that this form of accommodation isusually only marginally cheaper than market housing. However for the purpose of this section of thereport intermediate housing is defined as that costing above social rents but below the cost ofmarket housing.The table below shows our estimates of the minimum cost of market housing in the City, andestimated new social rent levels. The estimated cost of intermediate housing is also presented. Theoutgoings for private rented housing have been used for all sizes for the minimum price of markethousing as these are cheaper than those for owner-occupation (in terms of outgoings).PAGE 96

Therefore it is clear that intermediate housing will besuitable for some households in need.The table below shows the estimated breakdown of additional affordable housing requirements bysize and type of housing per annum. The figures are for gross need.Table 10.6 Amount of annual requirement for each type ofaffordable housing (all tenures)Type of housingDwelling sizeIntermediatehousingSocial rentedTOTAL1 bedroom 689 1,438 2,1272 bedrooms 462 1,967 2,4293 bedrooms 648 998 1,6454+ bedrooms 145 49 194TOTAL 1,944 4,451 6,395Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 2006The table shows that in total 30.4% of the gross requirement could be intermediate housing pricedabove the cost of social rents, the remainder should be social rented housing. However, from thesefigures it is important to deduct the supply of affordable housing. As with the previous analysis thishas been split by social rented and intermediate housing.PAGE 97
