Demand for housing and the development of the Selby Coalfield: a case study. [North Yorkshire]
- Univ. of York, England
Development in the Selby Coalfield in North Yorkshire will bring in new miners who will require housing services estimated at between 865 to 1725 housing units. Using Selby as a case study, the demand for local authority housing and the financial deficit this will create are estimated. Financing strategies to meet this deficit are considered as well as their effect on rents and coal prices. The cost of housing should be included as a relevant development cost of projects of this type. Other policy issues are whether these special housing needs are included in the planning of Central Government Housing and the responsibility of the Selby District Council to finance housing.
