Housing - Components of Supply

•The 10% discount on committed sites for non-implementation is an under-estimate for sites in Thornton.
•Existing sites are long-standing commitments with constraints and are unlikely to make a meaningful contribution to the housing requirement for Thornton.
•The likely contribution from commitments will be 80%, therefore the committed sites are likely to achieve 35 dwellings, not 43. Land for a further 8 dwellings will need to be allocated.
•Application of the 10% reduction for non-delivery/non-implementation on the allocated sites is unreasonable and fails to take account of individual site circumstances.
•An assessment of the draft allocations indicates that a number of the sites are constrained and the blanket 10% reduction is not supported by evidence. The number of dwellings likely to be achieved will be significantly lower.
