WDC has allocated a additional sites for housing through the Proposed Modifications to meet increased housing requirement including a number of Green Belt sites.
Mod6 states that in total 9,369 dwellings are to be delivered on sites allocated in the Plan bringing the total provision to 17,577 dwellings.
Whilst the identified housing land supply (17,577 dwellings) is above the agreed objectively
assessed housing need(16,776 dwellings) and therefore allows for some flexibility if allocated sites fail to come forward/are delivered with reduced capacity, the proposed housing land supply does not provide sufficient flexibility to significantly boost supply of housing in the District.
The proposed supply is only 801 dwellings above the identified requirement, representing less than 5% of the
overall need and is not sufficiently flexible to ensure that the LP can readily adapt to changing circumstances.
The LP is not effective as it risks not delivering the full objectively assessed housing requirements unless additional sites are allocated to provide for greater choice.

WDC allocated additional housing sites to meet increased housing requirement - includes number of Green Belt sites.

Local Plan should allocate greater number /range of sites to provide choice and flexibility to meet OAN to 2029. Without flexibility, housing requirements risk not being delivered. Local Plan thus ineffective.

Local Plan allocates number of Green Belt sites for housing - already accepted that land needs to be released from Green Belt to meet requirements. Land off Home Farm in Leek Wootton and land off Friends Close in Baginton would provide suitable sites - should be allocated to provide 'boost' to supply.
