Representation Summary:
Our client supports the uplift in the housing requirement for the Borough proposed by BBC. The SGOC suggests a housing requirement of approximately 360dpa, i.e. 5,500 dwellings over a 15 year plan period, in line with the "upper end" of the objectively Assessed Need (OAN) as identified in the PBA report. The SGOC identifies that the capacity of brownfield sites in urban areas over 15 years is 2,500 dwellings, some 3,000 short of total OAN. As a result, BBC accepts that the use of the Green Belt to accommodate unmet housing need will need to be considered.
