Council should provide further evidence that the proposed 8% contingency provides sufficient flexibility for the District.
Should consider mechanisms for bringing forward, if necessary, reserve sites and/or safeguarded land during as well beyond the plan period.
A higher housing requirement will necessitate a commensurate increase in the overall HLS.
Any phasing set out in Policy P5 should not be a brake on bring forward sustainable development.
To maximise housing supply, widest possible range of sites, by size and market location should be allocated.
Key to increased housing supply is number of sales outlets and wide range of products and locations.
