Paragraph 65 of
the NPPF sets out that strategic plan-making authorities
should establish a housing requirement figure for their whole
area. It goes on to indicate that strategic policies should
set out a housing requirement for designated neighbourhood
areas which reflects the overall strategy for the pattern and
scale of development and any relevant allocations.
We would be
grateful if any local planning authorities could share
information on the method / approach / options they have taken
to doing this through their recent or emerging draft local
plans, including whether you have considered different
scenarios for distributing numbers to designated neighbourhood
areas. Also, how are you dealing with the circumstance if some
but not all of your area is currently designated (but perhaps
more areas will be designated in the future)?
