There is a need within the emerging plan to secure new allocation sites to commence early in the plan period and the earlier delivery of Southbourne will help relieve pressure arising from the anticipated delivery of both Tangmere SDL and West of Chichester SDL, both expected to commence in 2027/2028 and both of which have experienced substantial delays to their preparation to date.
‘Proposed Submission’ Local Plan Appendix E – Housing Trajectory
Appendix E outlines the indicative housing trajectory for the plan period 2021-2039. The trajectory for delivery of the development in Southbourne has construction commencing in earnest in 2028/2029. Subject to the adoption of the plan within the anticipated timescales and the subsequent early preparation and adoption of a Site Allocations DPD (or neighbourhood plan), alongside the timely determination of planning applications / conditions, we envisage delivery of units on land east of Southbourne to instead commence from 2027/2028. There is a need within the emerging plan to secure new allocation sites to commence early in the plan period and this earlier delivery will help relieve pressure arising from the anticipated delivery of both Tangmere SDL and West of Chichester SDL, both expected to commence in 2027/2028 and both of which have experienced substantial delays to their preparation to date.

Object on grounds that supply will change by time of examination and existence of 5YLS and plan period supply will depend upon housing requirement found to be necessary at examination; trajectories for many individual sites do not accord with those in supporting evidence of 5YHLS Position Statement; no evidence to explain why trajectories in Statement have been amended or new sites introduced within Appendix; no clear evidence that completions will be achieved within 5 years for sites with outline or which are allocated; trajectory contains numerous unallocated sites which gained planning permission after base-date of assessment or have yet to gain planning permission - cannot be included in deliverable supply according to appeal decisions.
5YLS position that is likely to exist at point of adoption will need to be assessed in accordance with national policy. Normal practice to undertake this assessment prior to adoption to ensure there is a prospect that such a supply will be able to be demonstrated contingent upon the ever-changing deliverability of sites and final conclusions on the housing requirement.
