Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA)

Closed 26 Oct 2025

Opened 12 Sep 2025

Overview

The Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) is produced every five years to ensure housing in Clackmannanshire reflects the need and demand.

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 places a duty on local authorities to carry out an assessment of the following within the local authority area:

  • the type and condition of the housing stock,
  • the housing needs of the people in the area,
  • the demand for, and availability of housing, and
  • the specialist housing provision available to meet particular needs.

Why your views matter

This assessment will be used as the evidence base to inform the development of the Council's Local Housing Strategy and Local Development Plan.

This consultation should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

What happens next

Once the consultation findings are collated, a full report will be sent to the Scottish Government for quality assurance. 

The Housing Need and Demand Assessment will inform the new Local Housing  Strategy for completion in 2026 and also the new Local Development Plan. 

The new housing target will enable new housing of all tenures to be delivered in Clackmannashire.
