It would appear from the Council’s evidence that they have co-operated effectively with neighbouring authorities to plan for housing needs across the ISPA. Growth expectations are set out in ISPA1 and we agree that the minimum number of homes to be delivered in the areas is circa 35,000 between 2018-2036. However, we cannot comment on whether this has translated into effective joint working regarding the cross-border infrastructure and sites issues set out in ISPA2 and ISPA3. It will be important that the Council can show that the cross-boundary issues concerning the deliverability of those sites in ISPA4 which will meet a considerable portion of the ISPA’s housing needs will be addressed by the Council and the relevant agencies.
