Do not consider that it is appropriate to comment on the Level of Growth proposed until such time as the results of the joint SHMA are available later this year.

Linked to this, it is essential that, as part of a sound and robust consultation strategy, there is ample opportunity for key stakeholders to comment on the results of this work and any impact this may have on the Level of Growth for the District.

In addition, we consider it important that the Council seeks to meet the requirements of paragraph 14 of the NPPF by progressing a strategy that meets the full, objectively assessed needs for market and affordable housing.

Further, the NPPF is one part of a broad pro-growth strategy that the coalition Government has implemented and continues to support. The NPPF itself states, at paragraph 19, that, "significant weight should be placed on the need to support economic growth through the planning system".
