Completed in August 2007, the study includes an assessment of the economic viability of a range of affordable housing thresholds and proportions. An update of the study was completed in December 2009.

Housing Context Technical Paper
The Housing Context Technical Paper was prepared in support of the Core Strategy Outstanding Issues Consultation (September 2011). It summarises the policy context and a range of housing-related.
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)
The SHLAA is used as part of the evidence base to support the delivery of sufficient land for housing to meet the demand for more homes. The aim of the SHLAA is to identify sites with potential for housing, assess their housing potential and assess when they are likely to be developed. The SHLAA should identify specific deliverable sites for the first five years of the plan period, identify a further supply of specific developable sites for years 6-10, and where possible, for years 11-15.
The SHLAA is updated annually. Please submit sites for consideration in the 2012 SHLAA using the following form:
SHLAA 2011
The SHLAA 2011 constitutes a full re-survey of housing land availability in the borough. It will be updated in spring 2012.

Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA)
The SHMA is intended to assist the Council's understanding of the nature and level of housing demand and need, both affordable and market. The Council completed an update of the Strategic Housing Market Assessment in 2012.
An East Surrey assessment was undertaken jointly for the authorities of Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead and Tandridge and completed in 2008. The Market Assessment also considers the most appropriate levels in terms of type, location and tenure of all new housing.
