Housing Need and Requirement

Bradford claims that its housing requirement is 1704 dwellings pa for the period of the Plan. They base this on The Strategic Housing Market Assessment (2019) and (2021); The Bradford District Updated Demographic Evidence June 2019 and February 2021; and the Bradford Housing Need Addendum dated February 2021. These various reports put forward a number of estimates of future housing growth none of which requires 1704 dwellings per annum. Bradford use the "Standard Method Housing Requirement" without justifying why in the face of the lower estimates of population growth they have.
