Change in LHN post R19 but prior to submission

New Member Posts: 6 Join Date: 01/07/20 Recent Posts

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience of having a change in their LHN (due to affordability ratio/projection data being released) after Reg 19 but before submission? From looking at the PPG it seems that the LHN is only fixed from the time of submission however this seems illogical when a change could occur after Reg 19, and in a short period of time before submission, and therefore all evidence, trajectory etc will be prepared on the LHN at the time of going to Reg 19....Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

 

When should strategic policy-making authorities assess their housing need figure for policy-making purposes?

Strategic policy-making authorities will need to calculate their local housing need figure at the start of the plan-making process. This number should be kept under review and revised where appropriate.

The housing need figure generated using the standard method may change as the inputs are variable and this should be taken into consideration by strategic policy-making authorities.

However, local housing need calculated using the standard method may be relied upon for a period of 2 years from the time that a plan is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for examination.
