The document is based on an estimated requirement for 12,300 dwellings over the plan period. The latest SHMA puts the assessed requirement at 14,400, meaning that the residual need is 8,722 rather than 6,622. the plan does not therefore meet the full and objectively assessed need.

The Council appear to have made assumptions and assertions about where they feel it is appropriate to locate housing within the district, as well as the level of housing to be provided, before carrying out the relevant assessments with an open mind to reach such a conclusion. Thus, the process has begun from entirely the wrong premise and is based on evidence that is partial, inaccurate and subjective.
