Draft Interim Policy Statement for Housing Development

We support the principle of an Interim Policy Statement to guide development in the Local Plan area until the Local Plan Review is adopted.

From the 15 July 2020 (five years from the date of adoption of the CLPKP), the Council’s housing supply and housing delivery will be assessed against the figure of 628 dwellings per Annum and the Council will no longer have a five year housing land supply as required by the NPPF.

This Interim Policy Statement for Housing will help achieve the planning system's requirements for a five year supply of land.
