Housing Provision

Provision will be made for a net increase of at least 2,500 dwellings in the period 2006 to 2026.

The Council has identified sufficient specific deliverable sites to meet the first five years of the Housing Trajectory and will identify a further supply of specific developable sites for years 6 - 10 of the Housing Trajectory.

The Council will identify sufficient specific developable sites for years 11- 15 of the Housing Trajectory; however if it is not possible to identify specific sites, future growth will be directed to the urban areas and to land in sustainable locations immediately adjoining the built up areas as shown on the Key Diagram.

The Council will undertake a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment to identify deliverable and developable sites to inform the Site Allocations DPD.

The Council will apply the “Plan, Monitor and Manage” approach to housing delivery and will review the delivery of housing through the “Housing Trajectory” set out in the Annual Monitoring Report, and will phase the supply of land where necessary.

In order to ensure that a supply of land can be maintained the Council will identify reserve sites in a Site Allocations DPD. Such sites can then be drawn on in the event that annual monitoring indicates that the supply of deliverable and/or developable sites has declined and is likely to be insufficient to meet future requirements. The required amount of reserve sites would then be brought forward as necessary to become allocated sites within the fifteen year supply of housing.
