Housing Need and Requirement

My representation is that the Council should not adopt the 35% uplift and should adopt the second reasonable alternative at paragraph 3.8.57 (ie for a reduction in the 1704 dpa) to release fewer Green Belt sites, it not being the case that this would increase the gap between housing supply and need, as need has been overstated. For this reason (and others) exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release on the scale proposed do not exist.
