Given that the Councils' spatial strategies are highly reliant on strategic sites, the lead in times for these sites have been considered further, particularly as it is well documented that such sites are slow to deliver housing. NLP study identifies that the average lead-in time for sites of 2000+ dwellings is just under 7 years from the submission of a planning application, and the lead in time is similar for schemes of 1500-1999 dwellings.
The information contained within the uploaded Housing Land Supply Assessment makes clear that the Councils', whether considered separately or jointly, are not able to demonstrate a five year housing land supply of deliverable sites in accordance with the requirements of the NPPF.
