The policy refers to meeting housing requirements as expressed in the HEDNA, with sufficient flexibility to accommodate the housing requirements as set out in the 2024 Standard Method. We have some sympathy for the Council; at the time of preparing the Preferred Options SWLP the revisions to the NPPF, and associated update to the Standard Method, were in draft form only and subject to change. However, with the revisions to the NPPF and Standard Method now finalised the SWLP should commit to the Standard Method requirement and make no reference to the HEDNA.
Progressing the SWLP based upon the Standard method would be consistent with NPPF paragraph 62, whilst delivering housing above the Standard Method is acceptable in principle having regard to NPPF paragraph 69.
