Representation ID: 17167

The plan period proposed for the Draft Local Plan runs from 2020 to 2038, a period of 17 years as stated
within the draft Local Plan.
The draft however also states that the Core Strategy runs for a 17 year period from 2013 – 2030, and at paragraph 2.10.7 of the draft Local Plan that 2021-2038 is a 17 year period.
Clarity is therefore required on whether the plan period is calculated in line with the Core Strategy (i.e. 18 years for the period 2020 - 2038), or intentionally differently at 17 years. For reference we therefore calculate that the plan is over an 18 year period, which accords with the average dwellings per annum figure set out at Draft Policy SP8.
Recommendation 1: Clarity needs to be provided on how the 2020-2038 period is calculated as a 17 year
period, when the Core Strategy and Draft Local Plan take different approach elsewhere.
