The SHMA has provided net and affordable requirement figures based on the CLG housing needs assessment model. In terms of implications for the scale and type of affordable housing to be delivered, Table 4.23 considers the overall gross shortfalls by delivery area and applies the gross proportions to the net shortfall figure. This helps to determine the relative housing shortfall by basing analysis on the overall (gross) shortfalls but applied to a baseline net figure which takes account of existing affordable housing capacity.

Tenure split In terms of the split between social rented and intermediate tenure products, the household survey identified tenure preferences of existing and newly-forming households and also the extent to which intermediate tenure products could be afforded. Table 4.24 indicates that existing households in need mainly considered social renting as a preferred tenure option but newly-forming households had a much stronger preference for intermediate tenure options.
