Draft Local Plan

Para 5.9 states that: "it was proposed that the Borough [...] not meet the full objectively assessed housing need".
BBC must be satisfied that it has identified the full OAN for the Borough , before considering its ability to meet such need in respect of the NPPF policy constraints.
The Plan should positively seek opportunities to meet the development needs of its area. This is particularly important given that a number of surrounding authorities have confirmed, via representations to the previous iterations of the Local Plan, that they would not accept any shortfall from BBC within their own boundaries.
In this regard, BBC should be striving for as high levels of growth as possible.
