Reference should be made to a housing trajectory to illustrate the expected rate of delivery over this period.
A considerable proportion of supply is relying on windfalls. PPS3 makes clear that windfalls cannot be included within the first 10 years of supply unless evidence of local circumstances which prevent specific site being identified is provided. The approach to managing the release of land over the longer term and how land will be brought forward into the deliverable 5-year supply should also be set out.
Although there is an element of uncertainty about the provision of land to meet the needs of Coventry, by publication stage the Core Strategy must allow for the situation where it can meet the needs of Coventry if required.
