Policy SL01 Housing
The Government’s standard methodology identifies the amount of new housing that should take place in Leicester by 2036. An overall housing need of 39,424 homes across the plan period has been identified for Leicester. The city council will work with districts within the Housing Market Area (HMA) and with partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors, to ensure the delivery of housing as part of sustainable mixed communities.
Leicester City Council will work towards a target of providing a minimum requirement of 20,730 dwellings over the plan period from 2020-36 (1,296 dwellings annually) to contribute towards identified need within the city.
