Chapter 40 Housing Trajectory and Supporting Information

40.1 APPENDIX 1 - HOUSING TRAJECTORY

40.1.1 The Council’s housing target is 1,400 net additional units (350 units per annum) to be provided from 2007/8 until the London Plan is replaced. This is estimated to be in 2010/2011. From 2011/2012 the Council is planning to make provision for a minimum of 600 net additional dwellings per year. The housing target has varied over the trajectory period as shown by the green ‘target’ line in the trajectory graph.

40.1.2 The orange requirement line on the graph ‘Housing Trajectory to 2027/28’ shows the outstanding annual requirement for dwellings when judged against the target. This is based on a calculation of the number of dwellings needed at any point in time in order to meet the targets set over the whole period of the chart and is based on anticipated future developments. The target, in turn, affects the path of the orange line shown on this graph below. A lower target means that the overall dwelling requirement is met earlier. In this case the shortfall in completions over the recent past from 2004 to 2007 has ensured that the annual requirement being the outstanding need for more dwellings in each year remains positive until 2026/27 almost at the end of the trajectory period. The orange line remains above the year axis for longer becoming negative and dipping below the line only when the cumulative target for the period has been met. This shows that the target should be met by 2026/27.

40.1.3 The figures shown for the number of future dwelling completions allow for anticipated fallout when planning permissions either lapse or are superseded. In addition, the chart reflects a distribution of development taking place over a few years following the start of construction as well as a lapse rate of about a quarter. These proportions are based on patterns elsewhere within inner London. The construction progress over time also varies with the size of the development with the large developments taking longer.


568 The RBKC Core Strategy – Adopted 8 December 2010

40.1.4 The separate ‘Housing Trajectory Monitor to 2027/28’ graph comprises a single line which shows anticipated dwelling performance against target. It represents a comparison between the cumulative total of dwellings completed since the beginning of the plan period and the equivalent cumulative target over the same period. The effect of the early deficit shows clearly in the mid section of the graph only rising at the end of the period when more development is anticipated. The first half of the graph is affected by the early years resulting from the higher target level followed by a period of catch-up allowed by the lower target level. This is then followed by a slower rise as the anticipated housing supply from the available sites declines.

40.2 APPENDIX 2 - FURTHER EVIDENCEAffordable Housing Target40.2.1 Through the London Housing Strategy, the Council has a target to deliver 90 affordable homes per annum until the new London Plan is published (c. 2011/2012) and 2,000 affordable homes (200 units per annum) from 2011/2012 until 2021/2022 from all sources, to be provided in the Borough.

40.2.2 The affordable housing figure of 200 units per annum was calculated primarily by considering the estimated affordable housing from the site allocations. A number of the schemes shown in the table below have planning permission and therefore assuming these development proposals are implemented, the level of affordable housing to be delivered is known. However, for other sites, estimates have been made broadly based on a 50% target (i.e. Kensal and Homebase). The 50% target, in part, reflects the high level of need for affordable housing in the borough as evidenced within the SHMA. The 50% target is therefore needs-driven. Where a qualifying scheme proposes less than this target, the dynamicviability approach will ensure that the maximum reasonable proportion of affordable housing is secured.

40.2.3 Past trends have indicated a typical overall delivery rate of 25-33% and therefore a target of 200 units out of the proposed 600 (33%) is considered appropriate because it is at the top end of this range. The latter also takes into account the fact that the 600 unit annual housing target (6,000 units over a ten year period) also includes small as well as larger housing schemes, and a proportion of the former will not be required to generate affordable housing.The Borough has relatively few ‘major’ housing applications. Previous trends have indicated that around 84% of new homes come from schemes with ten or more units (i.e. where affordable housing would be required). Eighty four per cent of the overall affordable housing figure of 2119 is 1780, which is 30% of the overall housing total shown above. The target is therefore set close to this percentage, because this is considered to be a realistic target figure.



40.2.4 The following table shows the site allocations in the Core Strategy:

Affordable Housing Threshold and Percentage40.2.5 The Council requires the provision of affordable housing to be calculated on the basis of floorspace. Habitable rooms are not suitable because of the frequent differences between the tenures in the size of habitable rooms or number of habitable rooms, and the number of dwellings is equally problematic because of the variable size of dwellings in the private sector.

40.2.5 The Council requires the provision of affordable housing to be calculated on the basis offloorspace. Habitable rooms are not suitable because of the frequent differences between the tenuresin the size of habitable rooms or number of habitable rooms, and the number of dwellings is equallyproblematic because of the variable size of dwellings in the private sector.

40.2.6 In calculating the floor area equivalent to the affordable housing threshold, the UDP floorspacestandards have been applied to the Council’s preferred mix for nine market homes i.e. the number ofhomes that can be built without triggering affordable housing.This calculation has produced a thresholdof 800m² (8,600ft²), but as explained below a commuted sum will be sought between 800-1,200m²(8,600-12,900ft²), and affordable units will be sought only where more than 1,200m² (12,900ft²) ofresidential floorspace is proposed.

40.2.7 The Affordable Housing Threshold Calculation is as follows:

40.2.6 In calculating the floor area equivalent to the affordable housing threshold, the UDP floorspace standards have been applied to the Council’s preferred mix for nine market homes i.e. the number of homes that can be built without triggering affordable housing. This calculation has produced a threshold of 800sq.m (8,600sq.ft), but as explained below a commuted sum will be sought between 800-1,200sq.m (8,600-12,900sq.ft), and affordable units will be sought only where more than 1,200sq.m (12,900sq.ft) of residential floorspace is proposed.

40.2.7 The Affordable Housing Threshold Calculation is as follows:

Using Parker Morris minimum floorspace standards for residential developments

40.2.8 The housing policies require that a mix of dwellings of different sizes are provided in housing schemes. Whilst the Strategic Housing Market Assessment identifies a particular demand for family sized units, with three or more bedrooms, in both the market and affordable housing sectors, the mix set out below is considered to be a mix which will be more typical of delivery because of the need to take account of site characteristics. The mix set out below, includes nine units with roughly half of the dwellings being smaller units and half larger units. This mix of 9 units would result in the following:

l 60% one and two bedroom units (5.4 units);

l 40% three and four bedroom units (3.6units);

l for small units(1 and 2 bed), round down the 5.4 ‘average’ to 5 units, and calculate all 5 at the 2-bed floor area of 57sq.m (560sq.ft) (the minimum net internal floor area for a home with 3 habitable rooms);

l for large units (3 and 4 bed), round up the 3.6 ‘average’ to 4 units, and calculate all 4 at the 4-bed floor area of 98sq.m (1,050sq.ft) (the most generous minimum net internal floor area for a home with 6 habitable rooms).

40.2.9 So that gives a floor area of:

5 x 57 = 2854 x 98 = 392Total = 677sq.m (7,290sq.ft)



40.2.10 However, as this is net internal, it is also necessary to take account of the space required for circulation, common areas and structures. It may not be possible to physically fit this on a site with the 677sq.m (7290sq.ft) of net internal floorspace. Thus, for policy purposes, a gross external figure is more useful.

40.2.11 Again, erring on the side of caution, within the borough given the number of existing buildings to be retained, allowing for a 15% gross: net ratio, 15% of 677 = 101.55sq.m (1,090sq.ft). The calculation would be as follows: 677 + 101.55 = 778.55sq.m (8,370sq.ft). For administrative convenience, this is rounded up to 800sq.m gross external floorspace. Working out the affordable housing on site / commuted sum: The threshold for appropriate on-site provision is one house, thus a commuted payment will be sought where the floor area produces less than one house. The largest possible net internal floorspace for an affordable dwelling is 140sq.m (5 bedroom), using the Housing Corporation Total Cost Indicator Tables for affordable housing space standards1.

40.2.12 In order to have enough floorspace to generate this whole house on 1:1 ratio on floor area over 800 sq.m, 280sq.m (3,000sq.ft) would be required. As the threshold is expressed in gross external floor area, adding 15% to 280sq.m to translate this to gross external floorspace which produces a figure of 322sq.m (280+42) (3,470sq.ft). This is rounded up to 400sq.m (4300sq.ft) for convenience.

40.2.13 Thus if between 800 ñ 1,200sq.m (8,600-12,900sq.ft) of residential floorspace is proposed a commuted sum should be provided, whereas if 1,200sq.m (12,900sq.ft) or more of residential floorspace is proposed affordable housing should be provided on-site.
