The apparent fudge on the required housing numbers clearly shows that SMBC are running scared of demands that will be placed on them from the HMA. Failure to use the latest housing forecast data reveals a state of mind commensurate with fear of being run over by developers again in the courts and the demands of neighbouring councils in the HMA.
I am concerned about the uncertainty and anxiety that the preliminary estimates have introduced into the process of commenting on the draft plan given that revision is all but certain to occur.
This is my response to the above document. I have presented my comments it in the order of the sections and paragraphs in the Draft. I have restricted my comments to those sections that particularly relate to me.
