This section must be amended to acknowledge that the principal evidence base, the 2015 JSHMA, is outdated and potentially inconsistent with subsequently revised national policy and guidance.
It should also explicitly recognise the value of secondary datasets for the purposes of assessing local housing needs within villages and rural areas, and make clear that such alternatives to primary household surveys exist.
Our attached representations expand upon these concerns.
