Housing Supply:

At present Warwick District Council is unable to demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply which is acknowledged at para 5.1.32 of the consultation document and confirmed in the Council's most recent Annual Monitoring Report (2012) as being 2.6 years. This is contrary to NPPF (para 47) in respect to 5 year supply of deliverable sites and an additional buffer of 5% or 20% where there is a persistent record of under delivery of houses.

No reference has been made by the Council in the RDS as to whether they consider themselves to be a 5% or 20% authority in order to be compliant with Framework para 47.

Furthermore, in the absence of a demonstrable 5 year land supply, the Council will be required to identify and release more land for housing development beyond those locations set out in RDS5.
