- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of purpose-built student housing on house prices in Bath.
- Answer
-
The Department has not made a specific assessment of the potential impact of purpose-built student housing on house prices in Bath.
Our National Planning Policy Framework sets out that local planning authorities should identify the size, type and tenure of housing needed for different groups in the community. This includes, but is not limited to, students.
Our planning practice guidance states that local planning authorities should plan for sufficient student accommodation, whether this consists of communal halls of residence or self-contained dwellings, and whether or not it is on campus. Encouraging more dedicated student accommodation may provide low cost housing that takes pressure off the private rented sector and increases the overall housing stock.
