No. Revisions were made to the NPPF and Standard Method in December 2024 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 not be taken into account when assessing local housing need.

A number of West Midlands authorities have seen significant increases 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 also need to increase their housing need figure by reason of the requirement to accommodate any unmet needs.
