Representation Summary:

The document only sets out its strategy for future development in part. Through reliance on windfall sites and deferring decisions about growth later in the Plan period, it only shows locations for just over 50% of the 10,500 homes needed to 2031.

The Review fails to identify specific deliverable sites or broad locations for the full housing requirement, and fails the tests of Soundness. Should allocate sites in accessible locations.
