The Plan recognises that other authorities in the Housing Market area are at differing stages of the Plan preparation. There may be a need to take unmet need from other planning authority areas, most noticeably from Coventry and Birmingham. Indeed, the earlier versions of the Core Strategy proposed accommodating a significant proportion of housing from Coventry within Warwick District. The Council proposes to deal with this potential unmet need via a possible early review.

However Policy DS6 is considered unsound as it fails to acknowledge the need to potentially accommodate an element of unmet need from nearby districts.
