Excessive and Unjustified Housing & Employment Land Allocation (Chapter 4 & Chapter 6)
• The plan proposes up to 54,700 new dwellings by 2050, which significantly exceeds actual housing demand based on the latest census data.
• The Local Plan does not provide sufficient evidence to justify these excessive housing numbers, particularly when considering reduced population growth trends.
• Over-allocation of land leads to unnecessary urban sprawl, particularly when existing sites within towns and urban centers remain underutilized.
Conclusion: The housing targets must be reassessed using realistic population projections and demand-based evidence.
