Disagrees with the proposed level of growth as it does not provide appropriate levels of growth in line with the evidence base of the Plan.
Evidence from other sources suggest higher requirements. For example, Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research (18,200 between 2006 and 2026)and ONS 2008 Household Projections (17,000 between 2008 & 2028). The Strategic Housing Market Assessment indicates a requirement for 698 affordable homes alone.

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2012 indicates a housing land supply with a capacity of 13,385 homes on deliverable sites between 2014 and 2029. Therefore a greater number of homes could be accommodated.

Housing growth will contribute to sustainable economic development.
