Representation Summary:
We are supportive of the increase in the housing target however have concerns that this does not represent the full extent of housing need. The reduction of need of 348 to 280 dwellings per annum, based on tests of underlying trends. Given the subjective nature of these tests, and the known short-term trends will become the new normal for the longer term, we would urge a precautionary approach. It could be suggested that using 348 dwellings per annum as a baseline before applying the proposed 36% increase would be a more appropriate methodology.
