Having regard to information on housing need and demand, it is evident the District Council needs to plan for a quantum of growth significantly higher than proposed under the three growth options. A failure to plan for a sufficient level of housing will only serve to perpetuate an already pressing need for more affordable homes. The Consortium does not support any of the growth options.
It considers a more sustainable and deliverable housing target should be taken forward in the Local Plan, and recommend 900 dpa as a robust and achievable target to apply.
