Representation Summary:

Generally support but have concerns regarding the robustness of the Employment Sites: Site Assessment Topic Paper and EDNA, which are markedly out of date and don’t reflect COVID-19 and Brexit. The SHMA also needs to be updated to reflect the latest affordability ratios. The SHMA also relies heavily on demographic trends in establishing required market and affordable mixes and does not have regard to market demand and trends or the impact of COVID-19 on demand for additional living space. Costs of EV chargers in the Viability Study should be increased to £976 per dwelling in line with estimated government costs.
