Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
2.32
Representation ID: 3388
Received: 01/10/2013
Respondent: Crest Nicholson
Agent: Savills UK
Paragraph's 2.29 and 2.32 of the consultation document identify that BBC has commissioned a number of technical studies to inform their view of how OAN can be met and how many homes can be accommodated. This flawed approach is for example highlighted in paragraph 2.32 which states that "Evidence suggests that a higher level of growth would significantly worsen existing traffic congestion problems (Traffic Modelling Study - forthcoming)". It is considered that without the forthcoming Traffic Modelling Study, the Council do not possess the necessary up to date evidence base.

2.26
Representation ID: 3389

Para 2.26 In discussion of the background work to inform the housing figure, paragraph 2.26 identifies that national policy makes it clear that household and population projections should be the starting point for identifying 'objectively assessed need' for development, taking account of migration and demographic change. Full support is given to this approach, however, for the reasons noted above, it is clear that BBC have not sought to use this approach in the formation of their housing figures, and as a result fall considerably short of the required OAN within the Borough.

Appendix 3: Housing Trajectory
Representation ID: 3391
Received: 02/10/2013
Respondent: Crest Nicholson
Agent: Savills UK
BBC's Housing Trajectory is not capable of demonstrating a 5 year housing supply. If BBC were to adopt a NPPF compliant housing target more in line with the acknowledged objectively assessed need within the Borough, the position would be considerably worse still.
