The Plan places too great a reliance on windfall sites (21% of the total requirement). The Council has produced windfalls in the past because too little land was allocated.
The NPPF requires LPAs to prejudice the most appropriate strategy (Para 182) and in this case we consider that land should be allocated for development in order to provide certainty for developers and infrastructure providers.
The NPPF does not endorse the use of windfalls as a means of providing housing when determining the housing requirement of a Development Plan. Given that there are opportunities to allocate sites, the most appropriate strategy i to allocate sites in the Plan.
