Rural parts of the UK which have been declared national parks by the government like the New Forest in Hampshire are expected to see many rental properties divided into flats, annexes and loft conversions as the demand for affordable housing increases over the next 25 years.
Loft conversions have accounted for a significant proportion of building services provided in Hampshire during 2009 and the trend is set to continue with massive pressure for development in such areas.
Annexes and loft conversions together look likely to be the short-term answer to the currently high demand for housing across the south-east of England as fewer acres are being designated for new-build houses than in the recent past.
Loft conversions have also proved popular for people living with grown up children or an elderly relative, who want to expand their living space.
The southern Hampshire district of the New Forest, designated a national park in 2005, sees particularly intense demand for development in the towns which border it.
Landlords and homeowners alike have become ever more innovative in order to keep creating new estates in the land, using only the property that currently exists.
PM building Contractors in Hampshire is a prime example of a firm which is plying its trade in the loft conversion area in these planning black spots where regulations strictly prohibit new wide-scale development for housing, especially on Greenfield sites.
But constantly conjuring up new rentable real estate in the form of loft conversions to meet the demand for tenancies is simply not sustainable in the long term.
The new coalition government will have to look again at the existing policy which is putting real pressure on local authorities and families in areas like Hampshire.
Currently there is a 10 year waiting list for social housing in the New Forest area of Hampshire for a childless adult.
Public services in these areas will undoubtedly suffer if no real attempt is made to secure affordable housing for teachers and nurses.
