Housing target should be a minimum.
As the plan period base date is likely to be close to being the adoption date, the plan period extends some way into the future. This brings into sharp focus the difference between the annual housing target being proposed in the Local Plan Review and the latest figure set out within the Government’s standard methodology. Based on the latest emerging position, the Local Plan Review will be falling significantly short of housing need for the Borough.
Should the plan proceed in its current form, there is a significant period where there will be less open market and affordable housing being delivered than the latest evidence would indicate is required for the Borough which has a significant adverse impact in relation to the economic, social and environmental dimensions to sustainability.
