Representation Summary:

Components of Supply

SLA identifies supply of 33,466 units – potential shortfall of 12,400 units against the LHN.

A concern is raised that the housing trajectory setting out the projected housing delivery suggests that the mix of sites will not the Council’s LHN in years 1 to 5, followed by an “explosion” of delivery in Year 6. It would more believable if changes in supply were more graded.

Scepticism is applied to the trajectory and the suggestion that the Plan should be more aspirational in the range of sites and number of outlets to deliver the housing requirement from adoption, not five years hence
