Summary The Plan still suffers from weaknesses in the housing growth strategy adopted. Both the base level of allocations and the contingency level represent the
minimum level of housing which would be suitable to accommodate the minimum economic growth levels which the Plan seeks to deliver.
The evidence used to support the level of growth is not robust or credible and leaves the plan exposed to non-delivery from windfall and existing
commitments.
The contingency level is based on delivering the minimum level of growth required to meet population and economic growth and would not provide sufficient
scope to accommodate under-delivery.
Change Sought: A higher level of allocation, coupled with increased contingency allocations to accommodate a medium level of population and economic growth shold be set
within the plan.

Summary The Plan's housing growth strategy provides for the lowest level of housing growth that would be generated by population change, with a contingency to
accommodate the lowest level of growth created by the plans economic strategy.
The projected contribution from windfall sites and committments are not robust or credible.
Potential problems include changes to market conditions.
The contribution from empty homes is not robust.
The contribution to meeting AHLN is very low.
There is a mismatch between housing growth and ecomonic growth.
The contingency allocation is likely to be insufficient.
Change Sought: Increase housing growth and allocate site reference 67/643/353
