Comment
Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9723
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Mrs Jean Walters
Representation Summary:
Acknowledged that SM imposed at national level. Council should continue to press on government as it has potentially significant consequences for loss of highly performing Green Belt.
Annual dwelling rate of 885dpa is above the highest rate ever achieved by the Council except 2005, double average delivery rate of last 10 years, and above the 40% cap.
2016 based household projections of 550dpa, and in GL Hearn study, is more realistic and deliverable.
Council can use exceptional circumstances to justify using the 2016 household projections under Para. 60 of the NPPF.
