Whilst Warwick has set housing requirement at 12,860 dwellings 2011 - 2029 it has not identified its objectively assessed housing need. Urgent clarification is needed on this point.
The JSHMA apparently assessed housing need for each district, however, must be for an individual authority such as Warwick to assess themselves based on criteria and policies appertaining to their area. This does not appear to have happened or to be in accordance with the NPPF Guidance.
Need for rebasing plan period to 2031
Should be minimum of 2800 to 3300 new dwellings in addition to rebasing element in line with studies of market housing area and Cov and Warks Sub Region.
Additional housing requirement will require reassessment of housing numbers and locations and extend to future growth to meet the higher objectively assessed need.
