What is the source of 10,350? There is no national Government imposed housing target. Given the constraints of the SDNP, AONB need to preserve grade 1 agricultural land, conserve and protect wildlife corridors (on which CDC has committed to spend over £500m), how do you arrive at 10,350?
Make Southern Water a statutory commenter/stakeholder/approver to ALL planning applications.
I would like to understand from where the figure of 10,350 comes. There is no national Government target for housing. Per Michael Gove: “…the standard method [for assessing local housing need] does not provide a housing target. […] it is used by councils to inform the preparation of their local plans, which local authorities are required to have. Councils decide their own housing requirement once they have considered their ability to meet their own needs in their area. This includes taking local circumstances and constraints, such as Green Belt and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, into account […] This recognises that not everywhere will be able to meet their housing need in full.”
