The housing target does not provide sufficient flexibility to ensure that the minimum housing target can be delivered within the Plan period.This is because, typically, some 10% of all permissions and allocations may 'fall out' during the Plan period due to various reasons. Further dwellings should be allocated through the Local Plan Review to ensure the minimum housing requirements can be met despite either delays or problems arising with the delivery of housing allocations. This supports our client’s view that new land should either be allocated or safeguarded for housing development.

Regarding the development strategy for employment, 71% of the Districts employment supply is predicted to come forward on one site (WMI). Should there be an issue over delivery of the site then this could significantly impact the supply of employment land over the plan period.
