The target for Annual Housing Completions should be between 363 (Howmanyhomes) and 440 (East Sussex County Council)not the pitiful 200 proposed by the Council.
This is a deliberate strategy to circumvent 'The presumption in favour of development' contained within the National Planning Policy Framework by restricting the number of Allocations of Housing Development Sites required thus enabling future Planning Applications on other land to be refused as being a material deviation from the Local Plan.
As such, perfectly suitable housing development sites are currently being excluded by the Council citing generalised but non-existent boundary and environmental constraints.
