Representation Summary:

Although PPS3 provides for 'windfall' allowance outside the first 10 year period of the Plan, this element of housing land supply cannot be relied upon for the reasons acknowledged in paragraph 7.56 of the PSCS. If only the 'mid-point' of the housing requirement range is to be taken, then the estimated yield from small windfall sites should be discounted. It might be more appropriate to provide for such windfall allowance if the top end of the range in the housing requirement (i.e. 4,100 dwellings net) were to be taken as the overall housing requirement figure for the period 2011-2028.
