Our response:

A housing requirement figure significantly above the LHN has previously been considered (as set out in the SA report published at the time of the Preferred Approach Local Plan) but it was concluded that there would be significant negative effects.

As set out in Section 4 of the SA, the selection of reasonable alternatives for appraisal through the SA is the responsibility of CDC as the plan maker. The SA also makes clear that the number of reasonable alternatives appraised should be manageable – not all conceivable alternatives need be appraised.

The Housing Distribution (July 2024) and Transport (July 2024) Background Papers together with Section 5 of the SA set out the factors that have influenced the spatial strategy and selection of reasonable alternatives.
