5 year housing land supply

Hi all, We had our Local Plan adopted in January 2019. Our Local Plan Inspector was content that we could demonstrate a five year land supply and supported use of the Liverpool method for dealing with shortfall. The figures presented at the Examination included a 20% buffer. In updating our 5 year land supply, looking at the Housing Delivery Test we consider a 5% buffer is now appropriate. We intend to apply a 5% buffer and still use the Liverpool method and deal with shortfall across the plan period. Does anyone have any views on this or are in a similar situation? TIA Kind regards
