Strategic housing allocations and NP housing needs assessment

Advocate Posts: 172 Join Date: 20/10/11 Recent Posts

I am supporting a Town Council in preparation of a neighbourhood plan and a question has been raised about how a sizeable strategic brownfield site allocated in the Local Plan within the neighbourhood area should be treated.  A HNA has been prepared which assumes that this site will meet strategic needs across the wider borough housing market area and as a result it has been excluded from the HNA calculations.  Concerns are being expressed by the Town Council that clearly this site will satisfy some needs from within the area.  The question has been raised as to whether there is advice anywhere on HNA that would support exclusion in this way, the feeling being that the HNA could result in potential oversupply which in itself could result in preventing brownfield regeneration.   Grateful for any views.
