The NPPF contains no directions that phasing policies should be contained within Local Plans.

Bradford has suffered from a long-standing undersupply of housing delivery for a sustained period. Its current deliverable supply housing sites is noted to be just 2.06 years, within the Council’s own evidence base.

The Council’s approach of delaying the delivery of the accepted, evidenced and adopted Core Strategy housing numbers by unnecessarily proposing the adoption of alternative housing numbers has further slowed and frustrated the much-needed delivery of new housing in the District.

In this regard, a proposed policy seeking the phasing of housing delivery within the plan-period is considered wholly unnecessary.
