Decision details

RESOLVED that:

(1)       the annual assessment of the five-year land supply of deliverable sites for housing be noted.

(2)       the five-year land supply of deliverable sites for housing be published on the Council website.

REASONS FOR DECISION – To ensure Members were aware of the Council’s latest position on the Five Year Housing Land Supply, prior to publication of the information on the Council’s website.

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – National Planning Guidance requires local planning authorities to publish annually a Five Year Housing Land Supply Statement. Failure to produce this statement would make the Council vulnerable to unplanned development proposals contrary to the adopted Local Plan.

This was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers.
