The housing needs of Rother were last captured and published via the Housing Market Assessment in 2006, as with most HMA's we have been involved with, they are only as good as the last update they have had.
We have a concern that the social properties procured via Planning Gain will not necessarily meet the current needs of the Borough - the gestation period for a large S106 site is historically many years too which exacerbates this problem. The needs figures need regular updating.
