Summary

The Government recognised that it was necessary to base its response to the Barker Review on analysis of the highest quality. Because of this, ODPM commissioned two major studies to provide the necessary evidence base on the benefits and impacts of various levels of additional housing supply. The two reports are published at the same time as this document. We believe that these represent a major advance in the analysis of housing supply policy and, along with the models produced as part of the projects, combined with further analysis within Government, provide a good basis on which to take decisions.

The research has been carried out on abstract scenarios for additional housing supply, based on those assumed in Kate Barker's Review of Housing Supply, published in 2004.

ODPM has considered more realistic housing supply scenarios, whereby the rate of housing supply builds up over time. This supporting document provides further information on the analysis concentrating on the Government's ambition to reach a level of 200,000 annual net additions. This will involve fewer net housing additions by 2016 than the levels in all the additional housing supply scenarios modelled in the research.
