The focus on housing delivery must not be at the expense of providing sufficient jobs. The impacts of changes to the scale, distribution, and phasing of housing need to be fully understood. CS7 must be clear that meeting any provision outside the Borough in other districts requires agreement with those districts. The recognition that there is an identified shortfall in homes provision (4,611 homes to 2031) is helpful, although there is limited detail on how this shortfall is to be addressed and realistic options to be considered in this respect. The final sentence is unclear regards location of windfall sites.
