Received: 28/10/2009

Respondent: Mr H Snell

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The plan at present has proposed allocations to 2025 (a 15 year period following adoption in 2010). This is unsound as PPS3 requires a minimum 15 year housing land supply from the adoption of the Core Strategy. The LDS on the Council's website is out of date and it is unclear when the Council intends to adopt the Core Strategy for the purposes of a 15 year supply. For 2010 to be a reasonable date for determining a 15 year supply, the Plan will need to be adopted by 31st March 2010, which is not feasible.
