The Council provides no evidence that 200 dwellings are likely to be provided on unidentified (windfall) sites during the period 2023-2028. An analysis needs to be provided showing pass rates of completions from such sites and an explanation needs to be provided as to how this figure has been projected to 2023-2028.

There can be no certainty that the Council will be successful in bringing back empty homes into residential use. Therefore, the assumed 255 dwelling figure should be discounted from the total supply as the housing requirement is intended to be a minimum rather than maxium figure.
