The plan period
is 2012-30. The five year review in December 2020 found that most
policies remain up to date, apart from its policies for the supply of
housing, due to undersupply and the standard method LHN calculation.
Members instructed officers to carry out a limited update of housing
policies. The question has arisen as to whether the Plan period needs
to roll forward e.g. to 2040 to allow for 15 years post adoption
period (as required by paragraphs 22 and 68 of the NPPF,); or can the
Plan period terminal date remain at the current date of 2030? The
argument for keeping the 2030 date being that it's a review of the
plan under para 33 of the NPPF not a new Plan. </p>
<p>To complicate matters, it is likely that the council will need to
seek to reduce the housing requirement due to environmental
constraints including AONB and 2 SACs; so it is not just a matter of
allocating additional housing sites to make up the shortfall under a
site allocations DPD. </p>
<p>Advice would be gratefully received- thanks </p>David Pickhaver2021-12-06T11:00:57Z
