Representation Summary:

See Appendix 1, 2.1 to 2.8 - It will be necessary to prepare a new iteration of the SA which considers delivering a sufficient number of homes to meet housing needs as required by national policy and to provide for sustainable development, which will clearly be significantly greater than the minimum provided by the standard method. The SA will also need to be modified to pay due regard to the need for housing.

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.

The justification for not meeting the housing needs in full is set out in the Housing Need (July 2024) and Transport (July 2024) Background Papers. It is on this basis the Regulation 19 SA references it being unreasonable to consider an above LHN figure.
