We understand that the South Warwickshire Local Plan was drafted before the government released the revised NPPF (2024), which changes the housing need calculation methodology. The new standard method requires a 0.8% increase in housing stock and includes an affordability adjustment, eliminating the previous urban uplift. The updated figures show a significant increase in housing need for both SDC and WDC, amounting to a total of 2,188 dwellings per annum. While we support the Council's approach of using the new standard method, we recognise that this is a minimum and should account for factors like economic growth and infrastructure
