Isles of Scilly Housing Economic Needs Assessment

As part of the Local Plan review process, the Council of the Isles of Scilly wishes to commission a Housing and Economic Needs Assessment (HENA) to understand the current position of the housing needs of the islands. Given the various changes of emphasis from national guidance, and the recognition of a housing emergency (as highlighted at the 18 January 2022 Full Council ) on the islands, a HENA needs to be: • Aware and responsive to the circumstances and issues of the islands, • Be compliant with current NPPF/NPPG guidance (and be aware of the impact of any potential changes arising from any changes to these following MHCLG -response to its recent planning reform consultation).
