Policy RDS 1 is concerned with delivering an appropriate level of housing growth across the District. It is -presently noted as an interim figure, at 12,300 homes.

It is welcomed that the Council recognise that interim housing figure -could and should change as result of more up to date evidence as it emerges.

Important however that the Council recognise the important provisions of the NPPF, in particular the -need to meet the full objectively assessed housing needs, and the need to boost significantly the supply of -housing.

The Council are therefore invited to re-assess housing figures increasing the requirements to reflect the historical -local growth; apply the ONS figures with some caution; and recognise the important requirement to meet the -full objectively assessed housing need.

This will be a matter scrutinized in detail at Examination.
