Vulnerability of housing supply:
Windfall allowance
The windfall allowance is justified by reference to past windfall rates however it fails to recognise that ‘ town centre sites’ (a traditional source of windfall supply) are allocated in the plan through the town centre masterplan and the Council have identified other sources of supply through the brownfield register. In the absence of any assessment / analysis of this component demonstrating the projected level of future windfall provision taking these factors in account, we consider that the level of windfall should be reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
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
