Housing Supply
Development Partnership Forum, Exeter. South West housing drivers and challenges
The south west has particular challenges including a lack of affordable housing, with the average home costing £325,000, in part due to holiday lets and second homes pricing out local communities. The region has a mix of coastal, rural and urban communities, and a particularly encouraging environment for renewable energy generation, such as geothermal, wind and solar.
