Representation Summary:

The Local Plan then proposes a stepped trajectory approach to deal with housing need, with only 970 homes per annum in 2020-2025, and 1,050 between 2025-2030. There would then be a significant increase to 1,700dpa in the final 10 years of the Plan.
2.11 The justification for this approach is due to the over reliance upon strategic allocations which large infrastructure requirements.
This is not considered a sound approach and is effectively putting all the Council’s ‘eggs in one basket’. It is not justified by the evidence and the Local Plan.
