The eventual level of housing need to be considered by the authorities in the HMA will also dictate the development strategy adopted. As a minimum, the Councils should prepare strategies on the basis of 'Scenario B'. This is a positive approach towards housing delivery and economic growth that could be supported by the HBF. The Councils should also consider 'Scenario C'. In taking forward such an approach, with large scale strategic allocations, Councils will need to be clear about the timescales required to deliver this level of growth, and support smaller sites for quicker delivery within the first ten years.
