The local plan is unsound because the amount of housing that is being proposed over the lifetime of the plan is unjustified. The evidence used does not provide a reliable assessment of need and the methodology deployed is not consistent with the evidence used by other authorities in the housing market area. The objective need is likely to be much higher and we consider that it is likely to be around the 20,000 dwellings mark.
