2105 contribution the Housing Market Area shortfall is not sufficient. Significantly more housing land is required to meet needs and provide flexibility for non-delivery of sites (see attached Housing and Economic Growth Paper).
Trajectory: No uplift included to ensure the delivery of the cross boundary provision. The 5 year housing land supply calculation should be recalculated on the basis of a housing requirement incorporating any cross-boundary commitment.
Over-reliance on windfall and no certainty of delivery. A supply strategy based upon a heavy windfall allowance is unsound and does not allow for appropriate planning of infrastructure or form a robust spatial strategy.
Technical Housing Standards are optional and can only be introduced where justified. Plan provides no evidence.
Density: Flexibility is supported but uncertainty about how the policy would be impacted should all of the various standards be implemented. Evidence required to show that enough land is allocated to deliver the stated number of homes, taking account the standards.
