A Housing Need Report (Barton Willmore) identifies a major housing shortfall over the Plan period. Between 1,036 and 1,248 dpa are required to support UK Central. The deficit from the HMA is a minimum of 11,294 and 13,101 dwellings to 2031, a significant increase from 2,597 dwellings in the 2020 position statement.
29 units identified in the Brownfield Land Register should be discounted as there is no mechanism to deliver the numbers in the Green Belt.
Analysis of windfall supply in the Five Year Housing Land Supply Review (Lichfields, Nov 2020) concludes there is no evidence both large site windfalls and garden land will come forward.
• Increase in Housing figures of between 1,036 and 1,248 dpa
• Reduction in windfall allocations from 200 dpa to 150 dpa
• Reduction in BFLR allocations by 29 - from 77 to 48.
