The policy acknowledges a shortfall of housing provision of at least 50 units. The alternative sites suggested in the Hockley Area Action Plan hypothetical capacity test are not a practical option due to restricted dimensions and close proximity to the railway line. No realistic allowance has been made for this shortfall in the town centre or by increasing flexibility elsewhere in the district. It is not considered that the document demonstrates that the Council can meet its target for housing supply and is therefore unsound.
