Housing Need and Requirement

It is therefore concluded that CBMDC’s failure to plan for the full local housing need figure (i.e. 2,300 homes per year) is likely to result in any future Local Plan Examination Inspector concluding that the Local Plan should not be adopted. To avoid this, the next version of the Local Plan should be planning to accommodate the Local Housing Need figure including the 35% uplift, i.e. 2,300 dwellings per year. The latter figure should inform the housing requirement figure, which also needs to take account of the Local Plan's economic growth
policies.

Policy SP8 and other related housing policies should be updated accordingly.
