Housing Need and Requirement

For the plan to be sound, the Council should follow the Government’s approach to assessing housing need. Without this the Local Plan fails to identify sufficient new homes during the plan period.

Previously Developed Land / Efficient Use of Land / Density

Amafhh are concerned the Council has failed to make the most efficient use of the identified sustainable brownfield sites and that the density and yields of identified sites should be maximised, to ensure the Council’s annual targets and objectives for securing development on PDL can be achieved.

To assist with, this Amafhh has identified two new housing sites (through the call for sites) and recommended the number of units on site SW17/H is significantly increased.

Amafhh do, however, support Part C of Policy SP08 which provides support for additional opportunities that arise, including taking a positive and flexible approach to additional growth opportunities which may arise, particularly those which deliver transformational change in and around the Regional City.
