Representation Summary:
The proposed plan period is 2018 to 2039. Paragraph 22 of the Framework requires Local Plans to have a “minimum” 15 year plan period from the point of adoption. Consequently, the South Staffordshire Local Plan must be adopted in March 2024 at the latest for this requirement to be met, which is very unlikely.
The Plan period should be increased by a further 2 years to ensure that the Plan has a 15 year time horizon. At the same time, the housing requirement should be increased on a pro-rata basis and additional allocations made in the Plan.
