Overview
Ambridge Council is inviting responses to its updated Housing Needs Assessment and draft Affordable Homes Policy. The consultation seeks views on proposed housing allocations, the percentage of affordable units required in new developments, and priority groups for social housing allocation.
Background Information
Ambridge has a housing waiting list of 2,847 households, a 31% increase since 2022. Average house prices have risen 18% in the past three years, placing homeownership beyond reach for many working families. The Housing Needs Assessment projects a requirement for 4,200 new homes by 2031, with at least 35% designated affordable.
