07.3 Specific Implementation Proposals Item 1 An average annual rate of 11 Traveller families were housed by the Council in standard housing schemes between 2019 - 2023, rising to 20 in 2022. Based on the fact that the number of Local Authority new builds has increased year on year since 2021, this annual target of 14 rising to 20 is considered achievable. The Council's Traveller offer recording system should be refined to identify offers that subsequently fell through to provide a more accurate picture of the acceptance rate. Further consideration may be required to improve the offer – acceptance ratio, having regard to the specific Traveller requirements outlined in Section 4.4 Specific end of terrace, semi-detached units with side entrances in housing scheme completions could be set aside as single units or clusters of 2 - 6 units for Traveller accommodation. Clusters of 3 – 6 units comprising a mix of unit typologies could be co-located in future housing scheme designs as a form of Group Housing Scheme, to cater for a range of related family household sizes.
