Representation Summary:

Object on grounds that no exception circumstances for alternative approach to housing need; there is a need for at at least 666 homes per annum in plan area equating to a need for 11,988 homes over plan period; also need for at least 1,083 homes per annum if affordable housing needs are to be met equating to 19,485 homes; unmet need in excess of 10,000 homes in related authorities; capacity constraints on A27 should not limit amount of development, inconsistent with objectives of national policy.

Change suggested by respondent:

Full need for housing will need to be assessed taking account of needs of particular groups; engage with prescribed bodes to investigate capacity to accommodate unmet need in excess of 10,000 homes, demonstrate through statements of common ground; meet full need unless able to demonstrate adverse effects of additional traffic flows on A27 outweigh benefits; retitle H1 to recognise will not meet need or amend to meet housing need.
