The Council has not built any measure of flexibility in the overall supply. There is no contingency against under-delivery from delays or slower rates of delivery than anticipated.
There are concerns on the reliance of windfall sites. It is not clear whether there is any site size limit and there is a clear risk of double counting against other components in the supply.
Additional contingency measures should be applied in order to cater for currently unforeseen and unknown circumstances.
A minimum of an 11% flexibility allowance should be applied to the site allocations, an additional allocation of 650 dwellings.
To ensure that the housing requirement, including the wider HMA contribution, is given the best chance of being delivered, the allowance should be increased by 880 dwellings.
