Object to the requirement for 13,500 homes. It requires a big increase on current building levels and those since 2008. SOCS do not support this figure as justified or necessary. IBC appear to be "letting the tail wag the dog." Threats from unsustainable development via the lack of 5 year supply, should not force the Borough into proposing an inadequate plan. The plan must have balance and be both job and homes led. Growth should not be a "given" if the circumstances are adverse and dictate otherwise. Localism (public views) should be given greater weighting. Endorse NFPG points also.
