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.

Table 1 should be revised. The level of reliance on unimplemented planning permissions is unclear as the numerical split with sites under construction is not given. It is felt that in the context of an overall undersupply to meet projected need over the Plan period the table needs to make higher levels of provision in the section "additonal dwellings indicated by the SHLAA". Land at Breadsell Lane could contribute at least 450 additional dwellings based on the inclusion of the northern part of Breadsell site as shown on revised masterplan submitted April 2012.
