Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The quantum of growth proposed is simply not sufficient to address the shortfall in the wider HMA. There should be a minimum of 11,500 additional homes to address the unmet need across the HMA.
Policy P5 falls short of committing to the delivery of 2,105 dwellings to meet needs arising within the wider HMA which is not consistent with national policy or to satisfy the duty-to-cooperate.
20% more housing land should be allocated than that required to deliver the housing requirement to provide the necessary flexibility.
The 5- year housing land supply calculation should be recalculated based on a housing requirement incorporating any cross-boundary commitment.
Further evidence is necessary to justify the proposed stepped trajectory.
Policy P5 to be redrafted to explicitly commit the Council to deliver a contribution to the unmet needs of the wider HMA.
