Disagree with the level (10800 units) of growth as insufficient for the plan period. The 2008 ONS Household Projections estimates an increase of 17,000 households between 2008 and 2028, at a rate of 850 dwellings per year. The 2012 SHMA indicates a requirement of 698 dwellings per year to meet affordable housing needs of the District, in addition to market housing needs. Therefore the Council's proposed dwellings number is significantly below the predicted number of new homes required. The plan also needs to take into consideration the significant projected under provision of homes in nearby areas (for example Birmingham) and the SHLAA which indicates a supply of 13,385 units on deliverable sites, excluding windfall.
