WDC is ignoring the revised downward requirement in housing numbers resulting from the updated ONS projections and the lack of any need to allocate housing provision for Coventry, since this has not been requested. This is a serious omission and this Consultation provides an opportunity for the plan to be revised to reflect realistic (much lower) housing numbers in all land parcels being considered. There seems, therefore, to be no requirement to increase the housing numbers in this particular area - rather, they need to be reduced or removed altogether.
Whilst recognizing that this change of housing numbers is a result of the reallocation of the various parcels of land, it is very surprising that in amending its plan WDC is still ignoring the revised downward requirement in housing numbers resulting from the updated ONS projections and the lack of any need to allocate housing provision for Coventry, since this has not been requested.
