Respondent: Department for Education (DfE)

The DfE notes that significant growth in housing stock is expected in the borough; draft policy CS7 confirms a housing target of at least 8,622 homes for the period 2018 - 2036, equating to an annual target of at least 479 dwellings. This will place significant additional pressure on social infrastructure such as education facilities. The Local Plan will need to be 'positively prepared' to meet the objectively assessed development needs and infrastructure requirements.
