Additional Housing to Contribute Towards Meeting the Unmet Needs of the Housing Market Area

South Staffordshire District Council should consider whether the conclusions of the Strategic Growth Study and its update are robust for the purposes of its plan making. The Strategic Growth Study does not
establish housing need using the Standard Method.The housing
needs figure in the Strategic Growth Study is not, therefore, fit for plan making purposes. It is
based upon out-of-date evidence and does not use the Standard Method. Furthermore, the Study covers a period that is not commensurate with the South Staffordshire Plan. Its conclusions are not, therefore, directly transferable in any event.
