Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
The total is 640 dpa in the submitted plan.
In reaching this number a succession of stages have been undertaken, each of which increase overall housing need. These may be overlapping and optimistic.
a. The HEDNA OAN figure is considerably higher than the need, either economic or demographic.
This is given further weight by the recently published 2016 National Population Projection from the Office of National Statistics, which assume a lower level of both immigration and fertility, as well as a lowering of gains in life expectancy.
b. The OAN includes 15% added to the trend figure. Is this justified?
