There should be greater levels of housing growth in the district than proposed in the Preferred Options.
The Council has identified a target of 10,800 homes within the plan period. This was originally 11, 300 by the GOWM but was reduced by 500. We argue the figure should be 11,300 as originally proposed by regional government.
The Council include 1, 125 homes with p/p which may or may not be built. We argue a slippage figures of 10% will not come forward because of the recession.
The Council have included a 2,100 windfall allowance but where is the evidence these are available and achievable? They may not all be so (estimated 20%)
