Alternative evidence suggests that the level of growth should be higher. For example, evidence from Cambridge Centre for Housing & Planning Research, based on the 2006 projections, suggests that the housing requirement should be18,200 between 2001 and 2026. The 2008 ONS household projections show an increase of 17,00 households between 2008 and 2028.
The Strategic Housing Market Assessment indicates a need for affordable housing alone of 698 dwellings per year.
The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment indicates a housing land supply of 13,385 deliverable sites between 2014 and 2029. Green Belt and greenfield land in sustainable locations will be required to meet the need. Increasing the level of growth will assist economic development.
