Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 5018

Received: 02/09/2021

Respondent: Rainier Developments Limited (Wootton)

Agent: Marrons Planning

Representation Summary:

In the context of the need to boost housing supply in light of the increased housing requirement (circa 33% increase per annum), the Council should in this Plan proceed with making allocations in order to speed up delivery and ensure the housing need (including affordable) is met as soon as possible. Awaiting Neighbourhood Plans to be reviewed or prepared would add unnecessary delay which may adversely affect the trajectory and five year housing land supply (against the higher housing requirement).
