Our clients support the identified requirement for 44,400 new homes in the period to 2041 as a minimum. This is above the minimum figure recommended by Government using the standard methodology which is appropriate for an economically thriving and ambitious region. Furthermore, it is pleasing to see the application of a pragmatic 10% flexibility allowance to allow for the non-take up of allocations or account for where delivery is stalled. The requirement for additional land for a minimum 11,640 homes to be identified in the Plan period to 2041 is appropriate.
