“what needs to happen next”: your feedback and thoughts 1.Local Authorities (Strategic Development Plan Officials and Planning Officers and others with the Authority) need to start asking for home and work solutions from developers as alternatives to the affordable housing/starter home provision. 2.Engage with private sector housing developers to look at the commerciality of home and work solutions through different design models based around home & work “hub” development. 3.Quantify the economic and environmental benefits to a household income of being a home worker and the shared economy 4.Quantify the environmental benefits of reduced commuting, impact on quality of life for young families etc 5.Quantify the social benefits of home & work shared economy on health and wellbeing of a village, town or neighbourhood 6.Apply these tests in the viability assessment of planning applications for housing development and site allocations 7.Commit to creating Home & Work communities in the major strategic development sites in Northallerton, Middle-Deepdale in Scarborough and Selby. 8.Survey three sample communities to determine the level of interest to live 7 work in the same location and the viability of this as an option.
