Do not support the figures included in objective 3.

The figures reflect the baseline forecasts/projections. National policy is supportive of authorities planning for levels of growth above the baseline. As it stands, the Preferred Options plans for a level of growth that is below that previously indicated by joint SHMA. The Local Plan should include housing and job figures that plan for growth, rather than the minimum.

The figures proposed in the Preferred Options document fail to support growth in the ISPA. The economic growth ambition is not reflected in the level of new homes and jobs being planned for.
