Windfall:
A total allowance of 600 windfall units is included within the DSP. It is clear that historically there has been a high level of windfall completions. It is unclear however from the Windfall analysis at Appendix H of the 5YHLS position July 2020, whether the windfall allowance relates to both small and large sites, nor is it clear whether this includes garden land.
There appears to be no compelling evidence (as sought by NPPF Para 70) that this is a reliable source of supply.
Based on the evidence we do not accept 600 as a realistic windfall allowance. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we consider the tried and tested number set out in the adopted Local Plan, of 150 dpa, should be used.
