Representation Summary:

The objective to "plan for housing that meets the needs of the Borough's population and contributes to creating inclusive, balanced, sustainable communities", is supported and welcomed. In addition, we generally support Policy S2, insofar as it confirms that provision will be needed to meet a housing requirement for the Borough of 3,500 new dwellings in the Plan period 2015 - 2030.

However, the working draft of the "Objectively Assessed Housing Needs Assessment" sets out c. 5,500 new dwellings are required in the plan period. In that regard, the Council needs to identify further sites to deliver that requirement.
