Local Authorities
Hometrack are at the forefront of supplying high quality, reliable and up to date data for use by local authorities in the development and evaluation of housing and planning policies and strategies.
Our data delivers instant access to large amounts of data that are required for the creation and updating of Strategic Housing Market Assessments. Our unique data on lower quartile house prices by size and type of home, open market rental data and housing costs across all forms of tenure are key elements of effective policy development across the housing field. The importance of our data has been recognised in the Strategic Housing Market Assessment Practice guidance published by the CLG in 2007.
Planning departments and enabling officers use our data to inform the development of effective planning policies for their local area based on local housing market dynamics. Our data and analysis also enables planning departments to fully assess the impact and sustainability of applications for new developments.
