Representation Summary:

The document should make reference to the Government's Draft National Planning Policy Framework as this sets out the 'direction of travel' of how national planning policy is going to change during 2012. This is a major failure in the Core Strategy because the new policy is trying to increase house building to meet housing shortages and to boost economic growth. It is considered that the housing figures as set out are too low and need to be increased to a minimum of 5,600 dwellings. This is the base level figure as agreed in the South East Plan.
