(Read alongside table 2 of representation). Whilst we acknowledge that a figure of 9,214 is ambitious and commend the Council for setting such targets, the figure only represents a buffer of 6.8% above the standard methodology. We caution the conservative buffer the Borough has applied to the provision of housing over the Plan period, particularly given the Council's own margin for "slippage" was 10% (applied to Table 2 within the Core Strategy document). Therefore, logically, an uplift of at least 10% should be applied to figures H and G in Table 2 of this representation.
