No exceptional circumstances to deviate from the standard methodology as that is a requirement in the NPPF.
The Council should be using the standard methodology to determine the minimum number of homes needed and the 2014 based household projections should be used for standard methodology calculations to establish the Local Housing Need ('LHN') figure.
The figure of 109% deems that no action is required. However, the MHCLG is committed to boosting the supply of housing and although the housing delivery test score requires no action we consider that assessed need housing numbers should be seen as minima.
