Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

This draft practice guidance sets out how local authorities (both urban and rural) can develop a good understanding of how housing markets operate, particularly in terms of need and demand in their communities. Reflecting the objectives and approach set out in draft PPS3, it is primarily intended to assist local authorities and their stakeholders to plan for housing in sub-regional housing markets.

This document should be read in conjunction with the Consultation Paper on a New Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3): Housing.

Note: The above publication was issued by our former department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). ODPM became Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on 5 May 2006 - all references in the text to ODPM now refer to Communities and Local Government.
