2 1.0 Background 1.1 Paragraph 47 of the National Policy Framework (NPPF) requires Councils to identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5% (moved from later in the plan period) to ensure choice and competition in the market for land. Where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing, local planning authorities should increase the buffer to 20% (moved from later in the plan period) to provide a realistic prospect of achieving the planned supply and to ensure choice and competition in the market for land 1.2 This report looks at whether there are sufficient deliverable housing sites in Borough to meet requirements between 1 st January 2016 and 31 st What are Borough s 5 year housing requirements? 2.1 Paragraph 30 of the Practice Guidance (PPG) indicates that housing requirement figures in up-to-date adopted Local Plans should be used as the starting point for calculating the five year supply. Although the adopted Borough Local Plan (April 1999) contains housing requirement figures, they cannot be considered up-to-date. The production of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan is not yet sufficiently advanced for its draft housing figures to carry significant weight. 2.2 In these circumstances, the PPG indicates that information provided in the latest full assessment of housing needs should be considered. A Strategic Housing Market Assessment for Borough was completed in July 2015, and identified a requirement for 7,550 new homes between 2011 and 2036 (an average of 302 per annum). Over a five-year period, this equates to 1,510 homes. 2.3 Table 1 shows that, in the last four years and nine months, the number of new homes built has fallen considerably short of this requirement. Over the whole period, this shortfall amounts to 838 homes. It is understood that Inspectors considering appeals generally expect any shortfall from previous years to be made up as quickly as possible. If this historic shortfall is to be tackled in the next 5 years, Borough s five-year requirement would increase to 2,348 (1, ).

3 Table 1 Net housing completions in Borough (1 st April st Dec 2015) Period Requirement Net Shortfall completions 2011/ / / / TOTAL 1, Housing completions in 2009/10 and 2010/11 were similarly low (averaging 112 per year), and it would be difficult to argue that such figures over a six and three-quarter year period do not amount to a record of persistent under delivery. Consequently (and in accordance with the Government policy quoted in paragraph 1.1) it is considered that a 20% buffer should be applied. On this basis, the five-year requirement becomes 2,818 (2,348 x 1.2) What is Borough s deliverable housing supply? 3.1 Footnote 11 of the NPPF indicates that, to be considered deliverable, sites should be available now, offer a suitable location for residential development now, and be achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years and in particular that the development of the site is viable. Sites with planning permission should be considered deliverable until permission expires, unless there is clear evidence that schemes will not be implemented within five years, for example they will not be viable, there is no longer a demand for the type of units or sites have long term phasing plans. 3.2 Borough Council considers that, taking account of the above definition, the following types of sites may contribute to deliverable supply: sites where development has begun; sites with full planning permission, where development has not yet begun; sites with outline planning permission; sites where there is a resolution to grant planning permission; and sites which are allocated in a Local Plan. 3.3 Paragraph 31 of the PPG indicates that local planning authorities will need to provide robust, up to date evidence to support the deliverability of sites, ensuring that their judgements on deliverability are clearly and transparently set out. The Appendix to this report identifies all the sites that the Borough Council considers contribute to deliverable supply, and identifies how many new homes the Council expects each site to deliver up to 31 st.
