This project looks at the barriers to social and affordable housing delivery in rural parts of Northern Ireland using stakeholder interviews to understand those barriers and identify solutions.

Overview

Researchers from the University of Liverpool and ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº conducted a 9-month study into the delivery of social and affordable housing in rural parts of Northern Ireland.  Funded by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE), the project involved in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including housing associations, developers and key policy actors.  It culminated in roundtables with a broad range of housing groups.  Social and affordable housing targets have consistently been missed in Northern Ireland during recent year and the purpose of the research was better understand delivery constraints and potential planning and capacity barriers.  The work was led by Dr Tom Moore at Liverpool University and involved Professor Nick Gallent, Dr Phoebe Stirling, and Dr Andrew Purves at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº.

This project started on 31 July 2023 and will run until 31 March 2024.
