Number of green belt sites have been allocated to meet additional need.
While total figure to be provided is above OAN, allowing for some flexibility, proposed housing supply does not provide sufficient flexibility to significantly boost housing supply.
Proposed supply 801 dwellings above OAN, equating to less than 5% of general housing need.
Local Plan not effective as it risks not delivering full OAN unless additional sites are identified.

OMISSION site: -
Number of additional sites allocated for housing through the Proposed Modifications document to meet increased housing requirement.

Local Plan should allocate greater number and range of sites to provide choice and greater flexibility to meet OAN over plan period.

Overall number of dwellings to be delivered insufficient to ensure that Local Plan has flexibility to accommodate change, should site delivery be delayed. Local Plan not effective as it risks not delivering full OAN.

Additional sites should be allocated to ensure that the Local Plan meets housing requirements and provides for a reasonable degree of flexbility and choice.

Local Plan should allocate a greater number and range of sites to provide choice and flexibility to meet OAN. Without flexible approach, housing requirements are at risk of not being delivered. The Local Plan would therefore be ineffective.

Plan allocates Green Belt sites for housing - accepted that some land needs to be released from the Green Belt to meet District's housing land requirements. Land at Oaklands Farm, a partially developed site in the Green Belt, would provide a suitable housing site and should be allocated to provide a further 'boost' to the supply.
