Whilst Gladman raise no major issues with the approach the HEDNA has taken re: demographic and economic elements of housing needs assessment, given the severity of the affordability issue within the district and the Government's focus on tackling affordability through recent consultation on assessing housing needs, it is considered that a 15% uplift to address Market Signals is not sufficient.
Given affordability evidence and recent Inspectors'
decisions on Market Signals, Gladman consider that an uplift of 20% would be a more appropriate to address market signals. It is considered that the full OAN for Harborough,taking account of the Magna Park Sensitivity Study should be 581dpa.
