On the assumption that the figure of 10,800 new homes is correct (and we are not saying that it is), allowing for commitments and windfall sites, we acknowledge that the balance to be allocated in the plan is 6,986 new homes. In the context of paragraph 183 of the NPPF, which outlines the role of Neighbourhood Plans, the overall target for the delivery of new homes should be expressed as minimum figure rather than an absolute target, therefore providing a greater degree of flexibility for the Council.
