We consider the overall Local Plan housing target contained within the Proposed Submission Core Strategy to be justified and positively prepared, and accordingly consistent with National Policy. IBC concludes that it has only 3.9 years' worth of supply (4,253 dwellings) based upon its adopted Core Strategy housing requirement (AMR December 2014). However, The PPG advises that the shortfall should be rectified within the first five years, which results in 3.26 years' of supply. This therefore places increased emphasis on the deliverability of the identified locations for growth, including the Garden Suburb.
