It appears from the joint SHMA that there is a reasonable likelihood that additional housing will be required in Warwick District as a result of needs arising outside the District requiring to be met within the District. Whilst the approach set out in Policy DS20 is in many ways sensible, it is not sound as it is not positively prepared. This additional need can be reasonably foreseen and allowance should be made for it by way of additional site allocations. At the very least, additional land should be safeguarded for this purpose to provide some certainty, in accordance with NPPF paragraph 85.
