No, by reason of the revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework in December 2024(NPPF) and to the Standard Method - in an attempt to boost housing delivery.
The HEDNA figure is significantly lower than the minimum number of homes set out in the Standard Method and should therefore not be taken into account when assessing local housing need.
A number of West Midlands authorities have seen a significant increase in their Local Housing Need figure under the new Standard Method (save for Birmingham, Sandwell and Coventry). The West Midlands would be expected to deliver 29,940 dwellings per annum, a 21% increase compared to the previous method.
There will undoubtedly be challenges for neighbouring authorities to meet their own needs and hence the South Warwickshire authorities may well need to increase their housing need figure by reason of the requirement to accommodate any unmet needs.
It is hence considered that the Site is in a sustainable location and should be included as part of the Spatial Growth Strategy within the Plan.
