Concern that the full OAHN presented in the SHMA provides an underestimate of housing need in the Borough in accordance with current guidance.
The SDLP is therefore not planning for the correct number of homes to meet
housing need and the housing target should be increased.
Barton Willmore study recommends 987dpa as baseline scenario and 1,076-1,179 as UKC scenario. Due to suppression of household formation rates for younger people and need to balance housing and economic growth.
HMA shortfall in addition to this.
Further work being carried out by broader HMA will need to be taken into account.
