Notes
The Local Plan makes provision for the development of a minimum of 5,330 net dwellings in the borough in the period 2023 to 2040.
This minimum requirement will be broken down into an annual average requirement on a stepped basis as follows:
• Years 1 to 10 (2023 to 2033): 386dpa
• Years 11 to 17 (2033 to 2040): 210dpa.
After this supply is deducted from the identified housing need of 12,835 over the period 2023 to 2040, there will be a remaining unmet housing need, of approximately 7,505 dwellings, arising from Crawley over the Plan period. This will arise as follows:
• Years 1 to 10 (2023 to 2033): 369dpa
• Years 11 to 17 (2033 to 2040): 545dpa.
The council will continue to work closely with its neighbouring authorities, particularly those which form the Northern West Sussex Housing Market Area, in exploring opportunities and resolving infrastructure and environmental constraints in order to meet this need in
sustainable locations. This will include continued assessment of potential urban extensions
to Crawley.
