Hi,
I'm not sure whether this post is in the right part of the forum but hopefully someone can answer my question.
Where your existing Local Plan is over 5 years old, at what point can you start using an emerging housing need/SHMA figure (rather than the governments standard need figure which is much lower) when calculating your 5 year land supply? After one round of public consultation, only after examination or earlier?
I know the standard need figure is not a ceiling but having a 5 year supply against the lower standard figure could be used as an argument by objectors to resist development.
Thanks, Leanne
