HOUSING MARKET RENEWAL  
 
Round housing Concept
One of the roots for ORESA came from the desire to place the Joint Housing Market Renewal activity within a sound economic context. In that respect the whole of this strategy supports the work of Housing Market Renewal.

 
There are two specific aspects which need addressing in this strategy.

 
Firstly, a recognition that economic interventions need to support the structural changes in land use required in the inner HMR areas. This in part relates to the legacy of sites and premises in inner areas which was referred to in the Employment Sites Objective.

 
Secondly, in order to deliver a transformational economic agenda it is necessary to look at the housing offer in order to ensure that it is consistent with our objectives to retain and attract residents in
occupations appropriate for our restructured economy. In practice this may mean two things:

 
  • To provide greater diversity of choice of high quality homes

  • To build new affordable homes to meet identified need and demand to the delivery of the Regional Spatial Strategy targets
 
   
   
  ORESA Objectives

 
  The ORESA objectives for Supporting Housing Market Renewal are therefore:

 
 

To deliver economic regeneration that supports HMR Objectives.

 
  ORESA is adding value through securing investment that assists land use restructuring in HMR areas. It also liaises with HMR to define the occupations of new and existing residents who will need accommodation.

 
 

To encourage new housing that will help to retain existing and new residents.

 
  ORESA isl adding value through research which influences and informs the market and planning policies.  
 

More than 10,000 homes will be built by 2018, of which 2,800 will be affordable.
