Paragraph 157 of the NPPF clearly expects that Local Authorities Plan for a 15-year period post-adoption and to comply with this we consider that the Council should be planning to, as a minimum, 2031. In all likelihood following the submission of the Plan and the Examination process, adoption would be in mid-2015 at the earliest and thus the Plan is likely to cover a period of less than 14 years post-adoption. The decision not to plan to 2031 is further questioned given that Table 97 of the Coventry and Warwickshire joint-SHMA sets out a housing requirement covering the period up to 2031 for the District; and this provides a critical part of the time-sensitive evidence base.
