Housing trajectory is unsound in respect of its reference to windfall allowances. The allowance is overestimated and unrealistic in respect of windfall developments particularly in the rural area where the settlement limits proposed are overly restrictive. The allowance makes provision for student accommodation and therefore will not meet the identified housing needs of the district. The authority should only include student accommodation based on accommodation it realises from the housing market. This requires the dwelling unit to have first been occupied by students then alternative accommodation be provided to release the dwelling unit back.
