Housing Distribution - Keighley / Principal Towns

Policy SP8 - there is insufficient housing distributed to the Principle Towns and to Keighley within this group of settlements which fulfill a District wide significant role as service, employment and transport hubs for their surrounding areas. A very significant increase is not required but a level more in line with the baseline distribution for Principle Towns, including Keighley, would serve to deliver the plans spatial priorities, better reflect ands deliver the settlement hierarchy and thereby achieve sustainable development.
To support this position:
- a 6% increase for Regional City but a 22% reduction for Principle Towns and a $£% increase for local growth centres (baseline to preferred distribution)
- Policy SP2
- Policy SP3 ... Keighley to be main focus for housing...place to live
- By not fulfilling SP2/SP3 you are not meeting Policy SP1 on delivering sustainable development.
