Notes
Plan period and housing requirement modified by Inspector in SP2 to facilitate the delivery of 15,200 new homes between 2016 to 2036.
The examination identified a Full Objectively Assessed Housing Need (FOAHN) for the borough of 15,200 dwellings between 2016 and 2036 (an average of 760
dwellings per annum). Between 1st April 2016 and 31st March 2023, 3,218 dwellings have already been delivered. This plan has identified opportunities on specific sites
in and around the towns and excluded villages to facilitate the delivery of 9,343 dwellings between 2023/24 and 2032/33 and 13,400 dwellings over the plan period
2016-36. Opportunities to meet the remaining need will be the subject of an early review of the plan.
