Jim Plunkett-Cole, Principal Analyst at Smart Growth Analytics, said: "The findings demonstrate the economic importance of home offices in regional economies across the Country. They begin to help us understand the increasingly important home-based economic functionality of the more rural and residential areas outside of London, and particularly the Home Counties and Shire Counties across England & Wales. They provide strong supportive evidence of a need for home office support across these areas in order to maximise their economic contribution. In particular, they demonstrate a need for higher speed broadband, ‘virtual’ business support services and networking."

ReplyDeleteThe demographics of demand for Granny Annexes is quite different.
Where this map shows homeworking hot spots effected by local acceptance, cost of transport, time taken to travel etc. The Granny annexe demand is driven by the inability to move home + the acceptance that "sheds" can be as comfortable as homes.
There is no sense in the current planning statements about "sleeping accommodation" and the planners know that!
