1 - Introduction

1.1 The Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) is a policy monitoring document which forms part of the suite of documents that comprise the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames’ (referred to as the borough in this document) Local Plan.

1.2 This AMR covers the financial year from 1st April 2016 to 31st March 2017 - referred to as 2016/17.

1.3 The purpose of the AMR is to review the progress of development activity and the effectiveness of Local Plan policies in achieving their objectives.

1.4 This AMR includes:

● the monitoring of policy indicators as set out in the Local Plan;

● a report on the progress of each document in the Local Development Scheme (LDS), including reasons for lack of progress where appropriate;

● a report on the adoption of Development Plan Documents and Supplementary Planning Documents;

● monitoring information in respect of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL); and

● monitoring information in respect of the self-build and custom housebuilding register.

1.5 The documents which are contained within the borough's LDS and their

associated timelines can be found in Chapter 3. With regards to targets, this AMR focuses on reviewing selected indicators outlined in the Core Strategy (adopted in 2012) and the Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan (adopted in 2008).

1.6 In Chapter 4, indicators are assessed against the previous year's performance where possible and updates provided on the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames Council’s (referred to as the council in this document) policies and strategies.

1.7 Chapter 5 identifies trends of planning activity and where future growth is likely to take place.

3 - Update on Planning in the Borough

National Developments and New Legislation

3.1 The following paragraphs are a summary of:

● changes the Government hasmade to planning guidance;and

● new legislation introduced in2016/17.

3.2 In November 2014, the Government announced that local planning authorities should not seek affordable housing for developments consisting of ten new dwellings or fewer, as well as introducing a new Vacant Building Credit that can be offset against the affordable housing requirement of new development. In August 2015, the High Court quashed these changes to planning practice guidance. However, in May 2016 the Government successfully appealed this decision, thereby giving legal effect to the changes.

3.3 In April 2016, the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) Order 2016 came into effect. Theses regulations:

● make permanent the permitteddevelopment rights for changeof use from office (B1(a)) toresidential use (C3) permanent(previously limited to May2019);

● introduce new permitteddevelopment rights for changeof use of launderettes toresidential use (C3) (up to amaximum of 150m² and subject

to prior approval); and ● introduce new permitted

development rights for changeof use of light industrial units(B1(c)) to residential use (C3),until October 2020 (up to amaximum of 500m² and subjectto prior approval).

3.4 In May 2016, the Housing and Planning Act 2016 gained Royal Assent. This Act makes various provisions about housing, estate agents, rent charges, planning and compulsory purchase. In relation to key changes to planning, the Act:

● provides a statutory frameworkfor the delivery of starterhomes;

● simplifies and speeds up theneighbourhood planningprocess;

● gives the Secretary of Statemore flexible powers tointervene if Local Plans are noteffectively delivered;

● enables the Secretary of Stateto devolve further powers to theMayor of London;

● enables the Secretary of Stateto require local planningauthorities to hold a register ofvarious types of land, with theintention of creating a registerof brownfield land to facilitateunlocking land to build newhomes; and enables‘permission in principle’ to begiven to suitable housing-ledsites;

● extends the planningperformance regime to apply toapplications which are notmajor applications (e.g. minor

5


applications); ● amends the powers to put

information about the financial benefits of proposals for development and information about neighbourhood development plans before local authority planning committees;

● allows the Secretary of State to place restrictions or conditions on the enforceability of planning obligations relating to the provision of affordable housing and to appoint a person to help resolve outstanding planning obligations issues within set timeframes;

● allows developers who wish to bring forward applications for housing relating to a major infrastructure project to apply for consent under the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Planning regime;

● allows the Secretary of State to introduce, by regulations, pilot schemes to test the benefits of introducing competition in the processing (but not determination) of applications for planning permission;

● requires a review of minimum energy performance standards for new dwellings;

● modernises and speeds up the process for creating Urban and New Town Development Areas and Corporations; and

● requires a review of elements of the planning system that relate to sustainable drainage;

● takes steps to improve the compulsory purchase regime, and make it clearer, fairer and faster.

3.5 In October 2016, the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Regulations 2016 came into effect. These regulations revoke the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding (Register) Regulations 2016 and:

● add to the definition of the requirements about utilities and access to the public highway that a plot of land must meet to count as a ‘serviced plot of land’; and

● allow for local planning authorities to set additional criteria for eligibility onto the self-build and custom housebuilding register and for the register to be split into two parts (with entry in part two depending on the circumstances of the applicant).

3.6 In October 2016, the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding (Time for Compliance and Fees) Regulations 2016 came into effect. These regulations:

● require local planning planning authorities to grant sufficient planning permissions for ‘serviced plots of land’ to meet the demand on the register in a ‘base period’ within three years; and

● allow local planning authorities to charge fees in connection with maintaining the register.

3.7 In November 2016, the The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2016 came into effect. These regulations introduce and extend permitted development rights in relation to

6


electronic communications infrastructure.

The Local Development Scheme

3.8 The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out the timetable for preparing Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).

3.9 The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 require local planning authorities to produce a LDS, specifying the titles of DPDs, their subject matter and scope and

the timetable for their preparation and revision. Any document in the LDS that does not follow the prescribed preparation stages cannot be called a DPD or SPD and may not be referred to in the determination of planning applications.

3.10 The council’s latest LDS was adopted in March 2016 and covers the period from 2016 to 2019. Further details can be accessed via the following weblink: www.kingston.gov.uk/info/200207/local_development_framework/1195/local_development_scheme

The Borough’s Statutory Development Plan

3.11 The borough's statutory

Development Plan consists of the London Plan and the three DPDs that make up the Local Plan. Planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

Regional Context - The London Plan

3.12 The London Plan is the overarching Spatial Development Strategy for Greater London, and forms part of the statutory Development Plan of every London borough and the City of London Corporation.

3.13 The most recent update to the London Plan - the Minor Alterations

7

https://www.kingston.gov.uk/info/200207/local_development_framework/1195/local_development_scheme




to the London Plan (MALP) - was adopted in March 2016.

3.14 In November 2016, the Mayor of London published the draft Affordable Housing and Viability Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). It aims to:

● increase the amount of affordable housing delivered through the planning system;

● embed the requirement for affordable housing into land values;

● make the viability process more consistent and transparent; and

● ensure that development appraisals are robustly and consistently scrutinised as well as speeding up the planning process for those schemes which are delivering more affordable homes.

Local Context - The Local Plan

3.15 The borough's Local Plan consists of the three adopted DPDs (the Core Strategy, the Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan (K+20) and the joint South London Waste Plan DPD), as the SPDs and the AMR. The DPDs and SPDs need to be in general conformity with the NPPF and the London Plan.

3.16 As part of the early engagement on future growth in the borough and the council’s aspiration for Opportunity Areas within the borough, the council prepared the non-statutory ‘Direction of Travel’ document in partnership with the Mayor of London. This was published in October 2016 and will help guide the preparation of the

new Local Plan.

Core Strategy

3.17 The Core Strategy sets out the vision, objectives and policies for managing future growth, change and development within the borough, up to 2027. It includes both strategic and development management policies.

3.18 The Core Strategy includes monitoring and performance indicators and targets for each thematic policy area. This AMR does not address all of the indicators, but focuses on the most important ones.

3.19 The council is taking forward the preparation of a new Local Plan to supersede the Core Strategy. The programme for the preparation of the new London Plan is set out within the 2016-19 LDS.

Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan (K+20)

3.20 The Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan (K+20) was adopted by the council under the pre-NPPF Local Development Framework system. The council is now working with partners and stakeholders to implement this plan. As part of the implementation process, an initiative to coordinate investment within Kingston Town Centre called 'Kingston Futures' has been established, which seeks to enable development and transform the area (see Chapter 5 for more information).

3.21 The K+20 also includes monitoring and performance indicators and

8


targets for each thematic policy area. As with the Core Strategy, this AMR does not address all of the indicators, but focuses on the most important ones.

3.22 The council is taking forward the preparation of a new Local Plan that will supersede the K+20. Nonetheless, this will not stop the preparation of specific site development briefs through the ‘Kingston Futures’ initiative, as discussed later in this AMR.

South London Waste Plan DPD

3.23 The council jointly prepared the South London Waste Plan DPD in partnership with the neighbouring London boroughs of Croydon, Merton and Sutton. It was adopted by each borough in early 2012 and sets out the issues and objectives for waste management for 2012-2022. The plan contains policies which guide decisions on planning applications for waste management facilities.

3.24 In 2013, the London Borough of Sutton published the South London Waste Plan AMR on behalf of all four boroughs, covering the years 2011-2013. For further information on the South London Waste Plan DPD please refer to the following weblink: https://goo.gl/E3MFA3

Supplementary Planning Documents

3.25 The council has adopted the following SPDs (including year of adoption):

● Access for All (2005) ● Shop Front and Shop Sign

Design Guide (2005)

● Planning Obligations (2011) ● Affordable Housing (2013) ● Residential Design (2013) ● Sustainable Transport (2013) ● Eden Quarter Development

Brief (2015) ● Financial Viability in Planning

(2016) 3.26 In December 2016, the council

adopted the Financial Viability in Planning SPD. The purpose of this document is to provide clarity for developers and stakeholders on matters relating to the role of financial viability assessments in planning. It sets out the council's requirements and the approach applied to the assessment of viability. It has been prepared to support Core Strategy Policy CS10 (Housing Delivery) and the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, as supported by other council strategies.

3.27 In 2016/17 the council published a draft Planning Obligations SPD to supersede the version adopted in 2011. Planning obligations are legal agreements to mitigate the negative effects of a development which would otherwise be unacceptable in planning terms. This SPD is seen as necessary because of significant changes to the policy context surrounding planning obligations, namely the introduction of the NPPF in 2012; and the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy and corresponding Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations (2010 as amended), which have redefined the way in which developers are expected to contribute to community

infrastructure.

3.28 The council has also continued to work on preparation of a Cocks Crescent SPD. Cocks Crescent presents an enormous opportunity to boost the vitality of New Malden District Centre whilst providing much needed housing for the borough's growing population.

3.29 Although the Planning Act 2008 removed the obligation to include SPDs in the LDS, the borough's adopted SPDs are included in the LDS for completeness and clarity.

3.30 In addition to the SPDs listed in the LDS, the council is preparing other planning strategies and guidance to assist developers and landowners who want to develop in the borough in the short-term.

Community Infrastructure Levy

3.31 The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has largely replaced S106 Legal Agreements as the council’s principal method of raising developer contributions for the provision of new infrastructure in the borough.

3.32 The Borough CIL Charging Schedule was adopted on 1st November 2015. Accordingly all planning permissions granted after this date are assessed for CIL liability.

3.33 In order to comply with the 2012 Planning Regulations, AMRs should include information specified in Regulation 62(4) of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010(b), including the preparation of a report on CIL collections for

any financial year by a charging authority. In 2016/17, £704,858.39 Borough CIL receipts were collected by the council, due to the anticipated delay between CIL liable development receiving permission (after 1st November) and the commencement of development at which point the CIL becomes payable.

3.34 In addition to the borough CIL, Mayoral CIL charges also apply to development in the borough at a rate of £35 per square metre (index linked upon the granting of planning permission). The intention of Mayoral CIL is to raise approximately £600 million from across London towards the delivery of Crossrail 1. In 2016/17, a total of £1,275,349.90 of Mayoral CIL receipts were collected by the council.

Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Register

3.35 As of April 2016, all local planning authorities are required to have a self-build and custom housebuilding register. The purpose of the register is to allow individuals, or associations of individuals, wishing to build their own home to register their interest in acquiring a suitable plot of land with the relevant local planning authority.

3.36 To be included on the register, all individuals and members of associations must be:

● 18 or older; ● a British citizen, a national of an

EEA country (other than the United Kingdom), or a national of Switzerland; and

10


● seeking (either alone or with others) to acquire a serviced plot of land within the borough to build a house to occupy as their sole or main residence.

3.37 Prospective applicants can find out more information by visiting the following webpage: https://goo.gl/zVjt3d

3.38 The Self-build and Custom Housebuilding (Time for Compliance and Fees) Regulations 2016 require local planning authorities to grant sufficient ‘serviced plots of land’ to meet the demand on the register for a given ‘base period’ within three years of the end of that ‘base period’. The first ‘base period’ ran from from 1st April 2017 to 30th October 2017, with future base periods running for one year, from 31st October to 30th October. For the first ‘base period’, the council has accepted 15 entries onto the register, of which 11 are individuals and 4 are associations of individuals. Of these 15 entries, a total of 15 plots of land are sought.

3.39 The council intends to prepare a strategy to identify how the requirements of the legislation can be met and will publish any updates via the self-build and custom housebuilding register webpages.

Housing Delivery

4.1 The Further Alterations to the London Plan (adopted in March 2015) set an increased housing target for the borough of 6,434 for the period from 2015/16 to 2024/25, equivalent to 643 net additional homes per annum. In accordance with London Plan Policy 3.3 (Increasing Housing Supply), the following count towards the council’s housing supply:

● conventional housing (i.e. use class C3 and C4 dwellings);

● non-self-contained housing (i.e. relevant use class C1, C2 and Sui Generis housing or

hostels, e.g. care homes and student accommodation); and

● long-term vacant housing coming in or out of use (i.e. council tax rateable properties that - inter alia - have been empty for at least six months).

4.2 As part of demonstrating progress against the housing target, paragraph 47 of the NPPF requires local planning authorities to demonstrate the availability of housing sites for the next 15 years. For year 1 to 5, local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific ‘deliverable’ sites sufficient to provide 5 years worth of housing

14


against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5% (moved forward from later in the plan period) to ensure choice and competition in the market for land. For year 6-10 (and where possible, for years 11-15), local planning authorities should identify a supply of specific, ‘developable’ sites or broad locations for growth.

4.3 The 2017 Housing Trajectory (Table 2) shows projected housing delivery against the 15-year target. In accordance with guidance in the London Plan (see Policy 3.3 - Increasing Housing Supply), the 643 annual housing target has been rolled forward to cover the 15 years up to 2031/32. The 2017 Housing Trajectory also includes housing completions for the 2016/17 monitoring year and the five preceding years, as well as the components of the projected delivery. These are covered in further detail in the explanatory notes for Table 2.

4.4 Projected housing supply is based on the availability of sites and the likelihood of development taking place. The NPPF states that to be considered 'deliverable', sites should be available now, offer a suitable location for development now, and be achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years. For this purpose, the first five years of land supply considers:

● sites currently under construction;

● sites where planning permission has been granted; and

● other pipeline sites with a capacity of 10 or more units - those where: a) a planning application

has been submitted, but not yet determined;

b) where favourable pre-application advice has been issued; or,

c) the site is owned by the council and there are plans for housing development.

4.5 For details of the sites that comprise the first five years of projected delivery, see Appendix C - 2017 Five-year Housing Supply (2017/18 to 2021/22).

4.6 The NPPF states that to be considered 'developable', sites should be in a suitable location for housing development and there should be a reasonable prospect that the site is available and could be viably developed at the point envisaged. For this purpose, sites for years 6 to 15 include pipeline sites, e.g. those identified in the 2013 GLA Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment report.

4.7 Table 1 sets out the net housing completions since 2002/03. A breakdown of the conventional and non-self-contained homes completed in 2016/17 can be found in Appendix B - 2016/17 Housing Completions.

4.8 The total net homes delivered in the four years prior to 2016/17 differ slightly to the totals shown in the previous AMR. The corrections are explained in Appendix A - Update to Housing Completions in Previous AMRs.

● Column 1: 1st April to 31st March.

● Column 2: The total of the net conventional and non-self-contained housing completions, and long-term vacant homes being brought in or out of use, for the monitoring year. Figures from 2011/12 to 2016/17 show actual housing delivery. Figures from 2017/18 onwards show projected housing delivery.

● Column 3: The cumulative total of all net housing delivery.

● Column 4: The annual housing target as set by the London Plan. The housing target from 2011/12 to 2014/15 (375) was set by the 2011 London Plan. From 2015/16 onwards the target (643) is set by the 2015 Further Alterations to the London Plan. It should be noted that the new London Plan is expected to increase the annual housing target from 2019/20 onwards.

● Column 5: The cumulative total of the annual housing target set by the London Plan. Figures from 2011/12 to 2014/15 show the cumulative total for monitoring years where the annual housing target (375) was set by the 2011 London Plan. Figures from 2015/16 onwards show the cumulative total for monitoring years where the annual housing target (643) is set by the 2015 Further Alterations to the London Plan.

● Column 6: The net total of the cumulative housing delivery compared to the cumulative housing target. For each monitoring year this is calculated by deleting the figure in column 5 from the figure in column 3.

Explanatory Notes for Table 3 - Components of the projected conventional housing supply (2017/18 to 2031/32)


● Column 2: Schemes that were under construction on 1st April 2017.

● Column 3: Schemes with extant, but unimplemented, planning permissions on 1st April 2017.

● Column 4: These are sites that are at least 0.25ha in size and/or have a strategic allocation in the Core Strategy or Kingston Town Centre Area Action Plan, and are expected to come forward for residential or mixed-use redevelopment, but do not yet have planning permission. Assumptions about capacity on these sites take into account factors such as site size, densities, constraints, etc. A breakdown of these sites is shown in Table 5 (Conventional housing pipeline sites).

● Column 5: An analysis of past development trends supports the assumption that windfall sites will also come forward. This is based on the 2013 London

21


Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) and excludes development on residential garden land. This additional windfall allowance is only assumed for year 4 (i.e. 2020/21) onwards to reflect the fact that completions in earlier years (1 to 3) will result from schemes that already have planning permission.

● Column 6: Shows the total projected supply of conventional housing.

Analysis of Past Completions

4.9 As shown in Tables 2 and 3, housing delivery in 2016/17 fell short of the annual target by 433 units and short of the cumulative target (since 2015/16) by 557 units. Housing delivery in the borough is

very reliant on the successful redevelopment of a limited number of large sites, therefore if progress on these schemes is delayed (as has happened on a few key Kingston Town Centre sites) there is a significant impact on delivery.

26


4.10 In terms of conventional housing completions, of the 261 of net additional homes completed, a total of 85 (33%) were on sites delivering ten or more homes. The largest scheme completed was for 23 new homes at the Former Car Compound site, 2A Ellerton Road, Surbiton.

4.11 In terms of Indicator K7(1) (housing completions in Kingston Town Centre), there were 22 gross new

conventional homes completed in 2016/17 (total of 19 net additional conventional homes). There has been a total of 650 gross new conventional homes completed since the start of 2008/09 (total of 635 net additional conventional homes). The target of 1,000 new conventional homes in Kingston Town Centre set by the K+20 is expected to be met over the next few years.

4.12 The permitted development rights that allow the conversion of offices into residential use (subject to prior approval) has encouraged a significant number of proposals to

come forward. These permitted development rights have accounted for 307 new homes since they were introduced in 2013, of which 113 were completed in 2016/17.

Projected Delivery

4.13 The future supply of conventional housing is reliant on the development of a number of key sites, as can be seen in the figures for projected housing delivery. The key housing sites expected to be delivered over the next five years are:

● Gas Holder Site, Kingston Town Centre (328 net additional homes);

● Former Post Office Site, Ashdown Road, Kingston Town Centre (313 net additional homes); and

● Tolworth Tower (308 net additional homes).

4.14 There are projected to be two peaks in housing delivery over the next five years:

● In 2017/18, it is projected that a significant number of smaller sites will be completed, in addition to larger sites such as the conversion of the North Wing of Tolworth Tower into 78 flats. There are various student accommodation

schemes projected to be completed within this monitoring year, including at 64-80 Cambridge Road (for 300 bedrooms) and 171-173 Kingston Road (for 310 bedrooms).

● In 2020/21, it is projected that the major developments at the Former Post Office Site and Tolworth Tower will have been completed.

4.15 The projected housing supply over the next five years also includes 310 homes granted under permitted development rights for the conversion of offices into residential use.

4.16 Table 3 shows that the cumulative projected housing supply for the next 15 years is expected to exceed the cumulative housing target by 530 homes.

Affordable Housing

4.17 The average house price in the borough for 2016/17 was £488,326, a 48% increase since 2012/13, which is broadly in line with the increase in house prices across

28


London over the same period. The median gross annual income for borough residents is approximately £37,000. The chart below illustrates

the change in average prices in the borough compared to the Greater London average.

Chart showing average house prices (Land Registry, 2017)

4.18 The borough continues to have a shortfall in the availability of affordable housing, with demand outstripping supply.

4.19 The Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 was introduced in April 2013 and allows for the reconsideration of economically unviable affordable housing requirements contained in S106 legal agreements. In 2016/17, one request was made to renegotiate an extant unimplemented planning permission, at 34 Berrylands Road, Surbiton.

4.20 In relation to Indicator MI38 (additional affordable housing),

2016/17 saw a net gain of 15 affordable housing units. This represents a decrease on the previous monitoring year. It should be noted that the GLA Affordable Homes Programme 2011-15 funding had expired before the start of the 2016/17 monitoring period. For Indicator K7(2), 19 net conventional units were completed in Kingston town centre on 7 sites, all of which were small sites or prior approvals, therefore no affordable housing could be sought.

4.21 The following schemes delivered a net total of 15 affordable housing units in 2016/17:

29


● Service Station, Bridge Road, Chessington (13 net additional affordable housing units)

● Garages, South Terrace, Surbiton (2 net additional affordable housing units)

4.22 Table 9 shows the gross new and net additional affordable housing completions since 2012/13. It should be noted that this table has been corrected to acknowledge that the overall scheme at 39-42 Victoria

Road, Surbiton, was completed in 2015/16 (12 affordable housing units had erroneously been recorded as being completed on 2014/15).

4.23 There are currently extant planning permissions for the delivery of a total of 239 net additional affordable housing units over the next 5 years (up to 2021/22), including 55 units at the Gas Holder site and 38 units at Eden Walk Shopping Centre, both in Kingston Town Centre.

4.24 The council's Strategic Housing Market Assessment (2009) highlights a number of issues affecting the delivery of affordable housing; including the high costs of building in the borough, the economic situation and the lack of larger sites available for redevelopment that drives up land cost. The policy approach set out in the Core Strategy seeks to mitigate these issues by lowering the threshold at which the affordable housing policy applies, thereby increasing the number of sites where affordable housing will

be sought. However, in November 2014, the Government announced that local planning authorities should not seek affordable housing for developments consisting of ten new dwellings or fewer, as well as introducing a new vacant building credit that can be offset against the affordable housing requirement of new development. In August 2015, the High Court quashed these changes to planning practice guidance. However, in May 2016 the Government successfully appealed this decision, thereby

30


giving legal effect to the changes. The council did not any affordable housing (or payment in lieu) on small sites in 2016/17.

4.25 The council - in conjunction with Elmbridge Borough Council, Epsom and Ewell Borough Council and Mole Valley District Council - published a new Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) in June 2016. It identifies a net annual need of 825 new affordable homes in the borough between 2015 and 2035. It also identifies that 75% of all new homes (across all tenures) should have at least three bedrooms in order to meet the housing need in the borough across the same period.

4.26 In March 2016, the Mayor of London issued the Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG), which recommends that local planning authorities use Existing Use Value (EUV) to calculate land value when considering scheme viability. This superseded the previous RICS advice that a Market Value based approach was the only acceptable basis for viability appraisal. The council duly followed the advice of the Mayor of London when assessing viability appraisals. The SPG also removes the requirement that intermediate housing is only provided only by local authorities or Registered Providers. The council has subsequently granted planning permission for both low cost home ownership and

discount market sale units to be delivered by private developers.

4.27 Implementation of the HRA Affordable Housing Strategic Development Plan 2015-17 commenced in March 2016. Permission was granted to dispose of a number of HRA garage sites at auction. Additionally, further garage sites were readied for disposal when they were declared surplus to the council’s operational requirements. Later in 2016, the council commenced feasibility work on ten sites identified for redevelopment to provide new net affordable housing.

4.28 In March 2016, the Mayor of London approved the council’s bid for Housing Zone status. As a result, the GLA will provide grant funding to support delivery of the Cambridge Road Estate Regeneration.

4.29 Outside of the planning system, the council has always sought additional ways to tackle housing need, such as making use of the private rented sector as a source of supply (e.g. Private Sector Leasing, Tenant Finder Service) and progressing sites in partnership with Registered Providers for 100% affordable housing.

Specialist and Special Needs Housing

4.30 During 2016/17, 36 net additional non-self-contained units were completed. The biggest scheme completed was the new 59-unit care home at the former Kingston

31


Vale Service Station and 1A, Robin Hood Way, Coombe.

4.31 In relation to Indicator K7(3), there were 6 gross new student accommodation bedrooms completed in Kingston Town Centre in 2016/17. Since 2008/09, there has been a total of 616 student accommodation bedrooms

completed in Kingston Town Centre (see Table 10).

4.32 The most significant demand for specialist housing in the borough is for purpose-built student accommodation. There are over 1,000 net additional student bedrooms projected to be completed over the next five years.

Gypsies and Travellers

4.33 The council is committed to monitoring the provision of new Gypsy and Traveller pitches. The council does not have an up-to-date assessment of need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches, but will undertake a Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment as part of the preparation of the new Local Plan.

Previously Developed Land

4.34 The council is committed to the delivery of new residential development on previously developed land. In 2016/17, 99% of residential completions took place on previously developed land (Indicator MI36); a 1% decrease on the previous year. This 1% consisted of two infill developments.

Policy Context and Council Strategies

4.35 2016/17 saw the average economic activity rate (i.e. people who are studying or working) increase by 2% compared to the previous year. There was also a 1% increase in the employment rate (ages 16 to 64) of full-time workers, but a 1% decrease in the number of part-time workers.

4.36 The permitted development rights for change of use from office to residential use continue to have an impact in the borough. In

2016/17, approximately 6,000m² of B1(a) office floorspace was converted into homes and an overall total of over 17,000m² has been lost as a result of the permitted development rights since they were introduced in May 2013. A further 23,700m² of office floorspace has been approved for change of use through permitted development rights, meaning that if all this floorspace is also converted, the borough will have lost about 14% of its total office floorspace as a result of the permitted development rights. An

35


Article 4 Direction to remove these permitted development rights in the borough’s key employment locations, which came into force on 1st October 2016. The impact of these permitted development rights will continue to be monitored in future AMRs.

4.37 The 2013 Town Centre Retail Study shows Kingston Town Centre to be the best performing Metropolitan Centre in London outside the Central Activities Zone, turning over £646m in 2013. Croydon is Kingston Town Centre's biggest competitor in south west London, attaining a similar turnover (£636m) and with significant new retail development in the pipeline. The next best

performing Metropolitan Centres in the area are Sutton and Hounslow respectively.

Performance against Indicators

4.38 In relation to Indicator MI43 (employment floorspace), 2016/17 saw a net loss of 2,500m² of employment floorspace (B1, B2 and B8 uses) in the borough’s designated employment areas, i.e. Strategic Industrial Locations and Locally Significant Industrial Sites. This is the biggest loss of employment floorspace in these designated areas since 2012/13. 1,528m² was lost due to the conversion of offices to residential use via prior approvals.

4.39 In terms of Indicator MI46/MI48 (additional floorspace for ‘town centre’ uses, i.e. A1, A2, B1(a) and D2 uses), Kingston Town Centre saw a net gain of 1,441m² of A1 (retail) floorspace and 1,018m² of B1(a) (office) floorspace, which contrasts with the previous year’s negative performance. However, there was a net loss of 1,940m² of D2 floorspace as a result of the change of use of the former Virgin Active gym in the Bentall centre to

retail use. The three District Centres of New Malden, Surbiton and Tolworth all saw an net losses of town centre use floorspace.

4.40 The overall net loss of 3,890m² of town centre use floorspace across the borough was mainly due to the net loss of B1(a) floorspace. The single biggest loss of B1(a) floorspace was the 699m² lost through the conversion of 39-49 Cowleaze Road into residential use.

Other uses where there are projected to be net losses are in the A1 (retail) and B8 (storage and distribution) use classes.

4.42 The biggest net gain is projected to be D1 (non-residential institutions) floorspace, for which there are currently planning permissions for the overall net gain of 26,119m². This is mainly for new buildings and extensions for educational use at Kingston University and schools. Other uses where there are projected to be significant net gains are in the D2 (assembly and leisure) and A3 (restaurants) use classes.

4.44 In relation to Indicator MI47 (hotel bedrooms), 2016/17 saw the completion of 161 new hotel bedrooms as a result of the following developments:

● a new 142-bedroom ‘Double Tree by Hilton’ hotel in Kingston Town Centre as part of the Kingston Heights/Riverside scheme;

● an extension to the ‘Premier Inn’ at Chessington World of Adventures to create 14 additional bedrooms; and

● the creation of 5 new guest accommodation rooms at the Druid’s Head public house, in Kingston Town Centre.

4.45 Since 2012/13, a total of 387 net additional hotel bedrooms have been completed in the borough. This is welcome news for the borough as it helps attract more visitors and creates new jobs for local residents.

4.46 In 2016/17, planning permission was granted for a new 25-bedroom hotel at the Old Moot House, London Road, and the loss of the 96-bedroom Hotel Antoinette, Beaufort Road. There are also extant planning permissions for a new 137-bedroom ‘Premier Inn’ in Tolworth; and for a total of 40 serviced apartments at sites in Kingston Town Centre and Norbiton.

4.47 In relation to the retail indicators (I49 and K1), no town centre health checks were carried out in 2016/17, therefore there is no

update to the A1 (retail) and vacant units data since the previous AMR. However, a comprehensive review of the four

40


main town centres, designated local centres and other key retail premises in the borough will be carried out in 2017/18 as part of the evidence base that will inform the preparation of the new Local Plan. The outcome of this study will be reported in the next AMR.

4.48 In terms of changes to major retailers in Kingston Town Centre, 2016/17 saw the loss of the BHS department store in Eden Walk and the Lidl supermarket on Adams Walk. These units have been occupied by Primark (whilst the new store is developed on Eden Street) and a new Aldi supermarket respectively.

4.49 The historic environment of the borough includes a number of war memorials, of which six have been listed at Grade 2 as part of Historic England’s government funded four-year project to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

4.50 The new additions to the National Heritage List are: Hook War Memorial at St Paul's Church; New Malden War Memorial at New Malden United Reformed Church; Surbiton War Memorial on Ewell Road; New Malden War Memorial on the High Street; Old Malden War Memorial at St John the Baptist Church; and Kingston Hill War Memorial at St Paul's Church.

4.51 War memorials commemorate the role of communities across the country in the conflict and the listings will make sure that these monuments are properly looked after and enhance the valued heritage character of the borough.

4.52 Works to convert the former Grade 2 listed Gala Bingo at 22-30 Richmond Road, in Kingston Town, into a mixed use development are progressing with a priority focus on repair and conservation works.

4.53 Works have been approved and are being implemented to enhance the grade II listed Guildhall building involving the supply and installation of webcasting and audio/visual

facilities and works for artwork exhibitions within Kingston History Centre/Registration Service.


4.54 There have been no losses of Listed Buildings, Buildings of Townscape Merit (BTM) or the Heritage at Risk Register. There have been six new additions to the National Heritage List. Policies have remained effective and continue to be supported by the use of the borough Character Study and Residential Design SPD.

4.55 In respect of Indicators MI26 and K11(1), detailed conservation design has been approved and conservation works to both Listed Buildings on the Heritage at Risk Register at the Former Old Post Office, 42 Eden Street; and Kingston Telephone Exchange, Ashdown Road (both in Kingston Town Centre) are progressing with a target completion in Spring 2018.

4.56 The third listing on the Buildings at Risk Register is the Lambeth Uncovered Coal Store, Portsmouth Road (Surbiton). This structure is on the Seething Wells site and is part of a group of Listed Buildings on the Kingston University Seething Wells campus. There is a proposed partnership project between the council and Kingston University to convert them into business incubation units and grow-on space.

4.57 The council recognises the importance of open space and biodiversity and complying with national policy. Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) cover almost a third of the

borough and the Core Strategy contains specific policies which protect these designations. Core Strategy policies CS3 and DM5 strictly protect the borough’s Green Belt and MOL by resisting development except in very

47


special circumstances. There are, however, some uses deemed appropriate which include outdoor sport, agriculture and forestry, and cemeteries.

4.58 There are also many other parks and smaller open spaces in the borough. Currently there is public park provision of 1.12ha/1,000 people, which does not present an overall deficiency. Nevertheless, there are some areas with localised deficiency (i.e. they are situated more than 800m from a public park). These areas lie within the Maldens and Coombe, and Surbiton neighbourhoods. Consequently, Core Strategy policies have been developed to protect public open space and designate more of it as part of new developments (see policies NM1, S1, CS3, DM5 and DM6).

4.59 There are two parks with Green Flag status (Canbury Gardens and Churchfields), though the council’s Open Space Study states that most parks score well (achieving between 6 and 7) against the Green Flag Assessment.

4.60 The borough has an under-provision of formal opportunities for children’s play within public parks, as all residents should be within 400m of children’s play facilities, and this has not been achieved. Again, this issue has been incorporated in Core Strategy Policy DM5 which seeks to ensure that new developments contribute towards the provision and improvement of

children's play and sports facilities.

4.61 There are nine Local Nature Reserves and 39 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) - which overlap with nature reserves. The north of the borough borders Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common, both of which are “European sites” designated as Special Areas for Conservation (SAC). A small part of Richmond Park, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) falls within the borough boundary. These areas allow the borough’s population access to natural green space.

4.62 Additionally, there are some 41.7ha of actively managed allotment land. This is spread across 23 sites containing 980 plots. The council is seeking to bring currently unlet plots back into use by incentivising new plot holders to take on overgrown plots for free in the first year.

4.63 The borough's rivers and watercourses are also highly valued. Not only do they provide valuable resources for wildlife and biodiversity, but locations for sports and recreation too. They are protected by Core Strategy Policies CS4 and DM7. The River Thames, Hogsmill River and Beverley Brook form part of the Mayor of London’s Blue Ribbon Network.


4.64 In 2016/17, two planning permissions were granted for new

48


residential buildings (both for replacement dwellings) in the Green Belt (there were none in 2015/16); and no planning permissions were granted for new residential buildings in MOL (a decrease from four in 2015/16). It should be noted that as the two planning permissions in the Green

Belt relate to replacement dwellings there has been no net gain in residential buildings permitted in the Green Belt or on MOL in 2016/17. This demonstrates that relevant policies are performing well in terms of protecting of open spaces.

Sustainable Travel



● CS5 - Reducing the Need to Travel ● CS6 - Sustainable Travel ● CS7 - Managing Vehicle Use ● DM8 - Sustainable Transport for New Development ● DM9 - Managing Vehicle Use for New Development

Kingston Plan

● Theme 1 - A sustainable Kingston - protecting and enhancing the environment for us and for future generations

■ Objective - 1 - Tackle climate change, reduce our ecological footprint and "reduce, reuse and recycle"

■ Objective - 2 - Ensure the sustainable development of our borough and the promotion of sustainable transport

50


Key Facts

● Method of travel to work for borough residents (and all Greater London residents): ■ Walking: 6.9% (5.8%) ■ Cycling: 2.8% (2.6%) ■ Bus: 7.1% (9.1%) ■ Train: 15.7% (8.7%) ■ Underground/tram: 2.5% (14.8%) ■ Private car: 26.1% (18.3%) (Census, 2011)

● Percentage of households that own two cars/vans in Kingston (and London): 22% (14%) (Census, 2011)


4.65 The council is committed to promoting sustainable transport across the borough. This is demonstrated through the adoption of the Sustainable Transport SPD in 2013, which aims to reduce the need to travel, especially by private car, limit the length of journeys and promote the role of public transport, cycling and walking.

4.66 The Key Facts (identified above) show how borough residents travel to work. This demonstrates that they exceed the London average for walking, cycling, train and private car use. In particular, train use is almost twice the London average, but car use is about 8% higher. Underground and tram use is significantly lower than the London average due to the lack of any underground or tram lines in the borough.

4.67 Surbiton Station has a particularly good service to central London which makes it popular with commuters as off-peak journeys to

Waterloo Station take as little as 16 minutes. Kingston Station is situated on a loop line which is also connected to London Waterloo, however, it has fewer services and is not as busy as Surbiton, with passenger flows spread more evenly throughout the day.

4.68 Bus services play an important role across the borough; indeed bus use has increased significantly in the last ten years or so. However, the lack of any underground or tram network and the poor orbital public transport links continue to put the borough at a significant disadvantage compared to many other parts of south west London and beyond. This contributes to higher levels of car ownership and use.

4.69 While Kingston Town Centre, Surbiton, and to a lesser extent New Malden, have high Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTALs), much of the remainder of the borough does not. Areas in the south of the borough which extend into the Green Belt have very low

51


transport accessibility, despite some high trip generating land uses such as Chessington World of Adventures.

4.70 The A3 trunk road bisects the borough providing access to central London, Guildford and Portsmouth. However, it also acts as a barrier to sustainable access (particularly walking and cycling) between the northern and southern areas of the borough. The borough attracts high volumes of visiting traffic for shopping, leisure and work place journeys and consequently traffic congestion is an issue for local residents. Many of the town centre roads are at capacity during peak periods, which sometimes leads to problems on the network; contributory factors include the limited number of river crossing points in the area and associated heavy through-traffic movements. Consequently studies such as the Kingston Town Centre Movement Strategy, investigate measures to deal with these issues.

4.71 Travel plans attempt to encourage the use of alternative modes of transport with many new plans being adopted across the borough. It is clear that there has been a general increase in cyclists in the borough over the past few years, especially through the introduction of workplace and school travel plans. The London Area Travel Survey identifies that 4% of all journeys in the borough are undertaken by bike. This is the second highest figure in outer London, and compares favourably with a 2% London average. The

implementation of the new Go Cycle Programme will ensure a comprehensive package of cycling measures across the borough with great potential to further enhance the cycling mode share. The Portsmouth Road scheme has recently been completed with other schemes to follow over the next few years. Outcomes are expected to be significant and will be detailed in future AMRs.

4.72 The council has been lobbying for Crossrail 2 (Regional Option) including liaising with key partners such as Network Rail and Transport for London. It would be the catalyst for significant development opportunities in centres such as Kingston Town Centre, Tolworth and New Malden assisting in achieving the borough’s aspirations for growth. It would provide significant transport connectivity improvements in other parts of the borough, particularly in the south that are currently served by low frequency train services to stations such as Malden Manor and Chessington South.

4.73 Various transport studies have been commissioned in recent times (for example the Kingston Opportunity Area Transport Study and the Tolworth Area Plan Transport Study) to ensure that management of transport enables, rather than constrains, the development of key sites and the growth of Kingston Town Centre and other town centres in a co-ordinated, integrated and planned way. This is particularly relevant in relation to the recent

52


Direction of Travel document and the preparation the new Local Plan and the Tolworth Area Plan. Overall, these will assist with the implementation of the borough’s transport and development proposals.

flood risk management measures;

● Without appropriate flood risk management measures.

No development approvals in flood risk zone without flood risk management measures

● 5 development proposals that require flood risk management measures;

● 0 development approvals in flood zones without appropriate flood risk management measures.


4.75 The London Plan requires that development proposals recognise the potential implications of climate change. The Core Strategy was developed in accordance with this guidance along with the sentiments of the Kingston Plan. As such, the Core Strategy includes policies on sustainable design and construction standards, low carbon development, water management

and flood risk and renewables energy generation (see Policies CS1, CS2, DM1, DM2 and DM3).

4.76 The Council’s Energy Strategy (adopted in 2009) sets out how the council aims to significantly reduce its carbon emissions and energy use. This is done through the council’s varying roles as a Service Provider and Asset Holder, as a Community Leader and as a Local Planning Authority. The priorities

55


and projects are revised annually through the Energy Strategy Implementation Plan and adopted by the Growth Committee. The last submission was the Energy Strategy Fifth Annual Implementation Plan 2013/14 which sets new priorities and projects to 2017.

4.77 The Council’s procurement framework routinely requires an assessment of environmental benefits that a new contract may provide. The Ethical Procurement Screening Form includes a section on Sustainable Development and Environment to enable the assessment to be made.

4.78 As of October 2016, the Mayor of London applies a zero carbon standard to new residential development. The Mayor’s Housing SPG defines ‘Zero carbon’ homes as homes forming part of major development applications where the residential element of the application achieves at least a 35% reduction in regulated carbon dioxide emissions (beyond Part L of the 2013 Building Regulations) on-site. The remaining regulated carbon dioxide emissions, to 100%, are to be off-set through a cash in lieu contribution to the relevant borough to be ring fenced to secure delivery of carbon dioxide savings elsewhere (in line with London Plan Policy 5.2E). For commercial development, whilst the target set out in London Plan Policy 5.2B sets the Building Regulations as the target, part A of the policy seeks to minimise carbon dioxide emissions and GLA monitoring indicates that

the current 35% reduction is achievable.

4.79 The River Thames Scheme is a proposed programme of projects and investment to reduce flood risk in communities near Heathrow, including Datchet, Wraysbury, Egham, Staines, Chertsey, Shepperton, Weybridge, Sunbury, Molesey, Thames Ditton, Kingston and Teddington. There are no specific works are proposed within the borough because of the limited opportunities for intervention on the Riverside. However, the council is one of the partner authorities and will need to determine any planning applications.

4.80 The River Thames Scheme is being led by the Environment Agency and the last formal consultation was held in 2009. For more information about please visit the following webpage: https://goo.gl/udmQ78


4.81 In respect of indicator K24(1), 2016/17 saw five development proposals approved in Kingston Town Centre in flood risk zone that require flood risk management measures. There were no approvals that did not have a necessary flood risk management measure.

Trends in Planning Activity

5.1 The total number of planning applications received remains high, noticeably more than the previous monitoring year. In 2016/17 a total of 2,990 applications were received (excluding pre-applications, tree applications and conditions), similar to the 2015/16 total of 2,994. In summary:

● 31 ‘major’ applications were received in 2016/17, similar to the 2015/16 figure of 32.

● 416 ‘minor’ applications were received in 2016/17, an increase on the 2015/16 figure of 393.

● 2,294 ‘other’ planning applications were received in 2016/17, an increase on the 2015/16 figure of 2,192.

decrease, this could reduce housing delivery, and the ability of the council to meet London Plan targets. The impact of the recent and proposed legislative changes regarding permitted development rights described in Chapter 4 need

careful monitoring as this could have significant impacts on employment opportunities, and the health of the town and district centres, albeit it could lead to an increase in private market housing delivery.

Kingston Futures

5.3 Launched in 2014, Kingston Futures is the brand under which Kingston Council and stakeholders present and manage growth and economic opportunities across the borough.

5.4 It is involved in the promotion of appropriate development, lobbying for infrastructure improvements and seeking external funding to deliver projects designed to facilitate residential and business growth and success. A number of planning development briefs outlining how growth can be accommodated have been drawn up under Kingston Futures. Examples are North Kingston and the Eden Quarter. The preparation of the new Kingston Local Plan will also play a major part in this process.

5.5 The Vision for Kingston is a borough where:

● people choose to live, learn, work, create, and prosper;

● business chooses to invest and grow;

● history and culture are cherished and celebrated; and

● people have choices and have the confidence and skills to make those choices.

Borough-wide Opportunity Sites

5.6 The successful implementation of the Core Strategy's spatial objectives, policies and proposals involves the development of identified "opportunity sites" in the borough. Opportunity sites cover a range of uses including new and upgraded shopping and business facilities, housing and new and expanded schools. Opportunity sites have been defined as sites that are:

● of 0.25 hectares or above;

● developable and deliverable (according to the NPPF definition);

● not under construction;

● not completed; and

● not fully utilised.

5.7 In total, 22 sites with development potential have been identified. There is overlap with sites included in the Kingston Futures programme, the Housing Trajectory and the list of Kingston Town Centre Proposals Sites.

5.8 The progress associated with implementing opportunity sites is set out in Tables 21 and 22 on the following pages.

Appendix C - 2017 Five-year Housing Supply (2017/18 to 2021/22)

A.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to identify specific 'deliverable' sites to provide a five-year supply of housing, as part of the AMR process. The Further Alterations to the London Plan (adopted in 2015) set an increased housing target for the borough of 6,434 for the period from 2015/16 to 2024/25, equivalent to 643 net additional homes per annum. The 2017 five-year housing target (before addressing recent delivery performance) is 3,215 and covers the period from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2022.

A.3 The 210 net additional housing completions in 2016/17 resulted in a net under supply of 557 units against the cumulative housing target 1,286. The council must address this and has added the under supply figure to the five-year housing target, seeking to deliver this under supply within the next five years (also known as the ‘Sedgefield’ method). Paragraph 47

of the NPPF also requires that, in order to "provide a realistic prospect of achieving the planned supply and to ensure choice and competition in the market for land", the five-year housing requirement should identify an additional 5% or 20% buffer above housing targets (with the under supply added). Specifically, where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing, the 20% buffer should be applied. Where there has been a record of consistent delivery against the housing target, the 5% buffer is appropriate.

A.4 The council has reviewed the past 15 years of housing delivery in assessing whether or not it has consistently delivered against its housing targets, and to account for the financial downturn in 2007/08. In the majority of years the housing target has been exceeded (see Table 1 of Chapter 4). As such, 5% is considered the most appropriate buffer to apply to the five-year housing requirement.

Calculation of the five-year housing requirement (2017/18 to 2021/22)

Cumulative housing target (2015/16 to 2016/17) 2 x 643 = 1,286

Net additional housing completions (2015/16 to 2016/17) 519 + 210 = 729

Housing under supply (2015/16 to 2016/17) 1,286 - 729 = 557

Five-year housing target (2017/18 to 2021/22) 5 x 643 = 3,215

Five-year housing target plus under supply 3,215 + 557 = 3,772

5% buffer 0.05 x 3,772 = 189

Five-year housing requirement (2017/18 to 2021/22) 3,772 + 189 = 3,961

76


A.5 In accordance with guidance set out in the NPPF and recent case law, to be considered ‘deliverable’, sites should meet the following criteria:

● be available now; ● offer a suitable location for

development now; and ● be achievable with a realistic

prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years and in particular that development of the site is viable.

A.6 As set out in the following tables, the assessment of the five-year housing supply includes the following site types:

● sites that were under construction on 1st April 2017;

● sites with current, valid planning permissions on 1st April 2017 (that have not since lapsed or been superseded); and

● pipeline sites (with an area of at least 0.25ha) where: ○ a planning application

has been submitted, but not yet determined;

○ favourable pre-application advice has been issued; or

○ the site is owned by the council and there are plans for housing

development.

A.7 Paragraph 48 of the NPPF states that a windfall allowance may be justified in the five-year housing supply if a local planning authority has ‘compelling evidence’. The 2013 London SHLAA assumes that 155 net additional conventional housing units per annum will be delivered on small windfall sites (less than 0.25ha). This excludes development on residential garden land. This additional windfall allowance is only assumed for year 4 (i.e. 2020/21) onwards to reflect the fact that completions in earlier years will come from those schemes that already have planning permission.

A.8 It should be noted that, as the five-year housing supply reflects the current position of sites (in terms of development activity), projections may differ to those in the 2017 Housing Trajectory (see Table 2 of Chapter 4), e.g. sites identified within it could have been inactive during the 2016/17 monitoring year, but could still come forward during the mid-to-later years of the five-year housing supply.

A.9 The sites identified for the five-year housing supply are detailed in Tables B1 to B6 at the end of Appendix B.

A.10 As shown in the calculation below, at the end of the 2016/17 monitoring year, the borough’s five-year housing supply exceeds

the five-year housing requirement by 15%. This is equivalent to 5.73 years’ worth of housing supply.

Calculation of the number of years’ worth of housing supply on 1st April 2017

Five-year housing supply 4,537

Five-year housing requirement 3,961

Five-year housing supply divided by the five-year housing requirement 4,537 ÷ 3,961 = 1.15

Percentage of the five-year housing supply above the five-year housing requirement 15%

Years’ worth of housing supply 1.07 x 5 = 5.73
