Table 8 should be included in the policy. Broadly support the policy approach in Policy DS3 but concerned that the housing target may be insufficient. The overall unmet need across the GBBCHMA is well in excess of 66,000 homes and SSDC should co-operate with other authorities within the GBBCHMA to ensure that the level of contributions made collectively is sufficient to collectively meet the shortfall. The SHMA currently fails to consider whether the minimum need figure from the standard method would support enough workforce growth to support planned job growth. Richborough Estates does not support limiting new allocations at Perton to only the safeguarded land. Featherstone could support further growth as it is located less than a mile away from a proposed strategic site (646a&b) and could support nearby employment opportunities.
