Representation Summary:
The housing requirement proposed by the Local Plan Publication Draft is considered not to be positively prepared, as it is not based on the Objectively Assessed Housing Need, contrary to the NPPF and emerging Pollcy DS2. The SHMA suggests a minimum requirement of 660 homes per year, but identifies that these figures could suppress housing formation and therefore it considers that an appropriate level of provision, based on evidence would be around 720 new homes a year.
