Representation Summary:

Disagree. The housing evidence base which underpins the draft Plan’s housing strategy is lacking. Paragraphs 4.6 to 4.12 of the Preferred Option consultation draft Plan refer to various evidence base documents that have been used to help identify the quantum of development South Staffordshire should provide to assist in accommodating the unmet housing requirements of the conurbation. None of the documents referred to in these paragraphs are referred to in the evidence base in Appendix A. They have, however, been fundamental in
shaping the Plan’s housing strategy and should be included.

The housing requirement proposed by the draft Plan is unsound as evidence is dated and does not reflect current data.
