Stock breakdown by age

1200
Our housing stock is focused in the north of the district. Our intention
is to be pro-active and develop in the south but we recognise there are
challenges around availability and affordability of land.

The chart below gives a breakdown of the types of stock by age. The
largest proportion is houses built between 1945-1964. Recent housing
developments will now contribute to increasing stock numbers though
there will continue to be a loss annually through Right to Buy.

Stock type
We hold information on occupation of our properties which is
reflected in the two charts below. One shows the property size
by number of bedrooms and the other shows households by
age.
We hold a fairly broad spread of accommodation with the
majority being 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units but we are aware that
there is an increasing demand for 1 and 2 bedroom units and
much of our new development is focused on meeting this need.
We know that in general we house an older population with
nearly half of our tenants aged 55 or more. This is unusual
compared to the national average but is consistent for the
county and reflects specific needs and demands that are made
on our stock.
