What is our housing need and what can we do to try and meet it?

There is a great need for new, affordable homes in Oxford. Our housing need is 1,087 dwellings per year. Oxford is one of the least affordable cities to live in the UK.

13. We have used up-to-date evidence of costs and profits in new developments to set an affordable housing requirement- we are proposing that 40% of new developments with more than 10 homes should be affordable, and 80% of those affordable homes should be social rented housing as this is the most affordable type to best meet needs. To what extent do you agree with this approach?
