Vulnerability of housing supply:
‘Sites identified in land availability assessments’
It is unclear what is meant by ‘sites identified in land availability assessments’.
Given these are sites which do not benefit from a draft allocation, then they are by definition, windfall sites which means that there is double counting from unknown sources of supply.
Consider that the SMBC’s supply is actually 11,496 (rounded) before any reduction in windfall or the deletion of draft allocations which are unlikely to be delivered is taken into account.
Therefore: Amend supply and spatial strategy in Plan.
Allocation of additional sites to ensure housing need is met (including suitable provision for wider HMA needs) and an annualised trajectory is possible
