The Council has an overall amount of identifiable and deliverable housing land supply for 1,632 homes over the next five years. That is 269 homes fewer than the calculated five year requirement. This equates to a housing land supply of 4.29 years. The required additional 5% buffer as set out in the NPPF is included within the calculated five year requirement. The paper concludes that the borough cannot demonstrate a five year deliverable supply of housing land. In accordance with the NPPF it is recognised local authorities should have a forward looking approach to the five year housing supply. The Council will review its five year housing supply position when April 2014 residential land monitoring data becomes available.
