The perceived requirement to ensure a five year housing land supply should not dictate multiple starts - this is the tail wagging the dog. It is implicit in the NPPF that factors should be balanced regarding sustainable growth in the economy, and adverse impacts on the local environment and population. SOCS consider that 'sustainable growth' is an oxymoron as adverse impacts will undoubtedly occur in the short and long term on existing residents' quality of life.
