A l l e rd aleLocal PlanEvidence Base5 5year supply of deliverable sitesEnsuring a supply of deliverable housingland during the first five years of the CoreStrategyEstablishing the housing target for the firstfive years of the PlanA sufficient number of SHLAA sites have beenidentified to demonstrate that there is asufficient amount of land for housing to fulfil theproposed housing target set out in the emergingLocal Plan and that the distribution of thisgrowth, is achievable.The final test that must be fulfilled in order forthe Council to establish that the housingstrategy/target set out within the emerging LocalPlan is sound is to demonstrate a supply ofdeliverable land for the first five years of theplan.The NPPF requires that local planningauthorities identify annually sufficientdeliverable sites to provide five years worth ofhousing against their housing requirements.Local planning authorities with a recordpersistent under delivery of housing areexpected add a buffer of 20% to their five yeartarget. Based on historic rates of housingdelivery, the Council considers itself to be a20% buffer authority.As set out in Table 3, based on a target of 5168dwellings to be delivered over a 17 year period(2011-2028), the annualised target is 304dwellings. This gives a 5 year supply target of1520 dwellings. However when the 20% bufferrequired by the NPPF is added, this increasesthe 5 year supply target to 1824 dwellings.Therefore in order for the Council todemonstrate a supply of deliverable housingland during the first five years of the emergingLocal Plan it must be established that there aresufficient deliverable sites identified in theSHLAA to meet the supply target of 1824dwellingsTable 7 illustrates that there is an adequatesupply of deliverable SHLAA sites within eachtier of the hierarchy to support the delivery ofthe housing strategy during the first five years ofthe plan.15 SHLAA: Main Report
