No objection is raised to this policy suffice to say that it adds little to Strategic Policy DS2 of the Plan which is very similar in its drafting. As set out in responding to Policy DS2 we support the Council's policy intent to provide, in full, for the Objectively Assessed Need for housing in the District. This is commensurate with the NPPF, paragraph 47. We are, however, concerned that in practice the housing requirement figure contained within the Plan at Policy DS6 (12,860 new dwellings 2011 to 2029 as derived from the SHMA) is insufficient to meet the full, objectively assessed need for housing. Please refer to our objections to Policy DS6 and the accompanying Housing Background Paper for further information.
