H10 criterion b) requires the housing mix of rural schemes to reflect local need through a parish or housing needs assessment. However this does not take into account demographic trends, market trends or the local needs of different groups in the community as set out in the NPPF.
It also states that beyond meeting local need or where an assessment does not exist the mix should reflect the needs set out in the latest SHMA. However the evidence in the latest SHMA is based on 2011 information and is district wide. It does not reflect the local demand of the parish or village as required by the NPPF
