What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Scottish Government mandated a Local Housing Strategy for the Highlands region, which is a statutory requirement for the council. The strategy addresses the need for 30,000 new homes over the next 20 years to meet expected demand. The council reported that 1,800 affordable homes have been built in the region over the past four years, 1,300 of which are located outside Inverness.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Housing supply is identified as a continuing challenge for both local and national government. Businesses have noted housing pressures as a key challenge to staff recruitment. The Local Housing Strategy governs the council’s approach and priorities in relation to housing across the Highlands over a five-year period.

Planning for residential construction in Inverness is currently underway involving the Highland Council.
