Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 60272
Received: 26/07/2013
Respondent: Mr Harry Johnson
Agent: Bond Dickinson LLP
Representation Summary:
The level of housing growth currently envisaged by the Council may be understated. Believe that more than 550 new homes per annum may be required to meet local housing needs. Even if the Council's current estimate eventually proves to be the correct figure we believe that more land needs to be allocated to ensure that needs are met.
The Council is adopting a level of growth which is less than the higher end of the previous SHMA assessment and also less than previous economic and demographic forecasts have indicated. It is contended the Council is being excessively cautious in its assumptions for future housing need.
