DEL3 Monitoring Framework
The NPPF requires plans to be flexible and responsive to change. If delivery of housing in any given monitoring year falls below 110% of the annual requirement, the Council will consider implementing all or some of the following measures to bring forward development:
- Working with developers and infrastructure providers to remove obstacles to the delivery of sites;
- Seeking alternative sources of funding if problems with infrastructure provision is delaying development of key strategic sites;
- Consideration of the potential to increase density on allocated sites;
- Consideration of the ability to deliver strategic sites earlier in the Plan period;
- and Working with other authorities under the Duty to Co-operate to address any unmet needs.
Where total delivery of housing is less than 75% of the annual requirement for three consecutive monitoring years, this will trigger the need for the consideration of a review or partial review of the District Plan.
The target for Affordable Housing is calculated annually based on average completions over the preceding three-year period. Where delivery is less than 75% of the annual target for three consecutive monitoring years, the Council will consider all or some of the following measures:
- Consideration of the potential to increase density on allocated sites;
- Consideration of the ability to deliver strategic sites earlier in the Plan period; and
- Working with other authorities under the Duty to Co-operate to address any unmet needs.
Where delivery of pitches and plots to meet currently identified accommodation needs of Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople does not accord with the provisions of HOU9 (Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople), the Council will work with site owners and developers to expedite delivery and ensure that need is met in the specified locations.
