Consultation on new Local Housing Strategy
The Council is currently developing a new Local Housing Strategy. We recognise that communities across Stirling Council face a range of housing challenges. To ensure our strategy reflects these differences, focuses on what matters most to our residents, and allows us to direct our resources effectively, we need your input.
Your views will help shape the priorities of our Local Housing Strategy and guide how we deliver services and allocate resources. The survey should take around ten minutes to complete and will play a key role in shaping Stirling’s housing vision for the years ahead. There are also a number of drop in sessions about the Local Housing Strategy across the Stirling area in the next few months where you can come along and speak to Council officers about the strategy.
You can find the survey and more information about the drop in sessions on our Engage Stirling website.
Housing Need and Demand Assessment
The Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) is an important step in providing a robust and shared evidence base on housing requirements to support decision making within the Local Development Plan (LDP) and the Local Housing Strategy (LHS).
Stirling’s 2019-2038 HNDA was submitted to the Center for Housing Market Analysis (part of Scottish Government) in June 2019 for analysis and was formally assessed as ‘robust and credible’ on 5th February 2020.
