Notes
Unmet housing need in Oxford (2,200) in VoWH. The Council have defined the unmet need (to be added to the housing requirement of 20560) as 2,200 – and that this applies to the whole plan period (See Core Policy 4a). We consider that this revisits the housing requirement because there is an increase in the housing requirement set out in the adopted development plan; i.e. they haven’t simply just factored completions since adoption of the previous plan, but through duty to cooperate clarified the quantum of unmet need to be met and increased the housing requirement accordingly [Part 2 plan adopted 9 October 2019].
"Stepped Requirement" = 2011 – 2019: 1,028 dpa;
2019 – 2031: 1,211 dpa.
(The DPA of 1,028 is the average for the 20 year plan period (20,560 overall).
The LPA has then taken the total 1,028 x 8 = 8,224 off the new overall total of 22,760 to reach 14,536, and then divided that by the number of years left in the plan (12) to reach a DPA of 1,211.
22,760 – 8,224 = 14,536
14,536 / 12 = 1,211 DPA)
