Representation Summary:

Housing supply -
The HBF welcome the decision to include a 10% contingency within the Council's housing supply.
It is not evident which sites form the basis of supply within the first five years of the plan.
It will be necessary for the Council to provide a detailed site by site assessment of delivery across the plan period.
This is particularly important with regard to the five year supply given the amended definition of deliverable within the 2019 NPPF.
Until such evidence is provided the HBF reserve the right to comment on this issue.

Change suggested by respondent:

In order to make the plan sound the Council will need to provide evidence as to the delivery rates for specific allocations and other sources of housing supply within the local plan to ensure these can be scrutinised.
