Housing supply | 12.0 Local Development Plan | 12.1
The Local Development Plan (LDP) was adopted in June 2015 and sets out the long term vision and strategy for East Renfrewshire up-to 2025 and beyond and the policies and proposals required to deliver this. Together with the Approved Glasgow and Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan (May 2012), these documents form the basis on which all planning applications require to be determined. The LDP sets an all tenure housing supply target of 4,100 homes (3,200 private and 900 affordable homes) to be provided during the period 2009-2025.
The housing supply target set out in the Adopted LDP reflects the Approved Strategic Development Plan (SDP) (2012). The main housing evidence base is the Strategic Housing Need and Demand Assessment 2011 (HNDA). This needs assessment has been utilised to inform the proposed scale, nature and distribution of the housing requirement for East Renfrewshire.
The SDP is currently under review with a Proposed Plan published January 2016 for consultation. A refreshed Housing Need and Demand Assessment was prepared to support the Proposed Plan. The HNDA and Proposed Plan continue to highlight a clear level of need and strong demand for affordable and private housing in East Renfrewshire up to 2029. This updated HNDA will form the basis of housing requirements for LDP2.
