Representation Summary:

Taylor Wimpey supports the general thrust of the Council’s preferred spatial strategy. However, Taylor Wimpey has the below comments on draft Policy DS3, and the evidence base underpinning it, which TW consider would need to be addressed by the Council to ensure the policy is robust and sound.

The districts housing needs
Broadly supports the Council’s approach to assessing its minimum LHN. However the Council should not utilise the c.750 dwelling completions already delivered in the district between 2018-2021. These should not form part of the Council’s housing need figure for the 2018/21 period. The Council should, therefore, update the assessment of its LHN to reflect the need across the whole plan period.
