3.8 Affordable housing policy is being implemented on relevant planning applications and a Supplementary Planning Document has been prepared which includes a target of completing 106 affordable homes per year. There have been 42 affordable homes completed since April 2009.

3.9 The housing trajectory tables illustrate the housing position in Wigan at April 2010 based on the Emerging Core Strategy housing figures. Information on brownfield development is also  given in H3. A total of 471 new and converted dwellings were secured on previously developed land, some, 91% of all dwellings built .

3.10 The housing requirements for Wigan Borough were determined regionally as part of RSS for the North West. As the government has announced that it intends to abolish RSS and that housing targets will be determined locally, a figure of 1,000 dwellings per year has been used as the current target based on our emerging Core strategy.

3.11 In relation to core indicator H2a over the past five years a total of 5082 net additional dwellings were provided in the borough, equating to an annual average of 1016 each year over this period.

3.12 In the present AMR reporting year (2009/10) 487 net dwellings were built. In the year 2008/09 this figure was 776 dwellings. The relatively high rates of development recorded for residential purposes in 2007/08 have not continued into this monitoring period, net housing starts having dropped to represent 30% of the 2007/08 figure. 

3.13 There were no new Gypsy and Traveller permanent or temporary sites created in the  reporting year.

3.14 No dwellings have been recorded in the current reporting year against the Building for Life criteria. However, an Officer has recently completed training as an accredited Building for Life Assessor. It is therefore anticipated that a steadily increasing number of dwellings will be assessed and will feature in future reporting years. 

3.15 The housing position in the Borough will continue to be monitored on a regular basis. Work is continuing on the Council's Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) to identify potential sites for housing and to assess when they are likely to be developed, so as to maintain a continuous rolling 5 year supply of sites.
