Summary Housing - empty dwellings
People Type
The Plan indicates (page 75, para 4.44) that 100 homes will be brought back into use during the period 2008-12 from the substantial stock of such dwellings.
Whilst the Plan doesn't indicate why or how this will be brought about, unless there is a specific reason - which is not stated - as to why such a benefit will be
restricted to only this period of the Plan, then further dwellings should be indicated for the period 2012-2022. This would enable an equivalent reduction to be
made in the Plan's housing land allocations.
Change Sought: Whilst the Plan doesn't indicate why or how this will be brought about, unless there is a specific reason - which is not stated - as to why such a benefit will be
restricted to only this period of the Plan, then further dwellings should be indicated for the period 2012-2022. This would enable an equivalent reduction to be

Summary The HBF objects to the land supply calculations shown in the table within paragraph 4.44 as they do not accord with national guidance, are not founded on a
robust and credible evidence base and are not sufficiently flexible to enable the LDP to deal with changing circumstances.
Change Sought: The land supply needs to be increased in order to be sufficient to accommodate the suggested dwelling requirement of 9,298 dwellings, provided within our
response to Policy HOU/1. There should also be additional land allocation of 10% of the total supply to introduce flexibility.
Any increase in land supply should include greenfield releases in addition to PDL, in order to ensure a range and choice of housing can be provided over the
plan period.
The evidence used to inform BP/4 with respect to the amount of dwellings expected via windfall sites needs to be updated. All evidence used to corroborate
the assumptions made within BP/4 should be included within the background paper, in order for the reader to see exactly how and why those assumptions
have been made.
An immediate review of the existing land supply allocations needs to be undertaken, in order to ensure the assumption made in terms of the capacity of each
allocation to accommodate the number of units stated is correct.
We also believe allocations within the LDP need to include information on site area and developable area, in order to ensure the assumptions on developable
area and site capacity are clear and justified.
