The Central Lincolnshire Plan is intended to set of framework for community developments in the next 20/25 years. Well maybe - but where is the proof that it is meeting needs - in the right places?
The projections below base expectation on a rising Age profile: but how much could be changed with the required economic development?
And of course in specific towns such as Sleaford.
I looked again at the advice within the Linconhire Research Observatory. Here is the broad outline!
Housing
The Importance Of Housing Data And Intelligence
Suitable housing is seen by many as a right, and key to the long term economic, social and environmental wellbeing of Lincolnshire. Housing is a complex topic with the potential to impact on a wide range of planning and policy areas.
The number of homes needed, where to build, and their suitability to meet the needs of the population are decisions that are all complicated by factors such as changes to population, demography and migration, the quality of our current housing stock, the economy, and climate change.
People need homes that are decent, affordable, the right size, in the right location, warm, accessible and safe. Planning for such needs is challenging because it’s not only about current and short term needs, but also about future needs in an environment that is changing rapidly.
It is recognised that in order to ensure current housing stock is utilised and developed effectively, and we plan for the future in a sustainable manner, good quality and up-to-date housing data and intelligence is vital.
