Representation Summary:

The Core Strategy should provide a policy framework to ensure the South East Plan’s strategic housing and employment requirements can be delivered by 2026. The housing strategy should show that the quantum of development from various sources can be delivered in the Plan period and that a strategy exists to achieve the Plan’s objectives, should supply not deliver to expectation.

We support the LDF making housing provision to 2026 in line with PPS3. The strategy should not have an over-ambitious housing trajectory, should include a range of development opportunities for consistency of supply and allow for flexibility.
