The SA must be revised to take account of new Governmental guidance on the NPPF, issued following the Ministerial Statement of 6th March 2014. Changes include: issuing guidance on flood risk; clarifying that local plans can be sound where authorities cannot identify housing land for years 11-15; allowing windfalls to be counted over the whole plan period and student/older persons' housing and the reuse of empty homes to be included when assessing housing need; ensuring that infrastructure is provided to support new development; stressing the re-use of brownfield land; and clarifying the issue of prematurity in relation to draft plans.
