Dec 2010 - South Worcestershire Development Plan

SOUTH WORCESTERSHIRE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT 2010727.32 The projected trajectory for future levels of housing delivery isillustrated by orange columns. Again please note this is a composite ofthe trajectories for the individual local planning authorities, which areset out in appendices 1, 2 and 3. The production of these trajectoriesassists local authorities to review potential sources of housing land andtaking a view as to both its suitability to deliver new homes within theplan period, as well as considering the phased build-out rate ofidentified sites.7.33 This process has been informed by the South Worcestershire StrategicHousing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) and the annualassessment of housing sites with planning consent and/or local planallocation via the South Worcestershire Housing Land Monitor.7.34 These evidences provide an overall picture of the land which isavailable across South Worcestershire and its potential toaccommodate housing, within the current plan period (to 2026) andbeyond. For this first joint AMR it has not been possible for all of thedistricts to provide data on the use of land (hectares) associated withthe future delivery of new housing. It is expected that new datacollection and analysis techniques adopted from April 2010 will plugthis data gap in future editions.7.35 The trajectory provided seeks to make reasonable estimates of thelikely delivery of new housing and is to be interpreted as a ‘snap shot’.However, the process of establishing a housing trajectory to the year2026, which is the end date for the emerging WMRSS Phase Twopartial review is subject to considerable uncertainty. SouthWorcestershire authorities face a variety of issues, these include:• The effects of the Secretary of State’s decision to abolish allRegional Spatial Strategies and the recent High Court judgmentbetween Cala Homes (South) Ltd and Secretary of State forCommunities and Local Government.
