Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Housing Land Supply - Main Document

1. Introduction

Representation ID: 168452

Received: 14/10/2019

Respondent: Pigeon Land Ltd

Agent: Savills

Representation Summary:

The document reports the position to 31 March 2019 and projects the requirement and supply from 1 April 2019. The 5YHLS period assessed is thus from 1 April 2019 (the base date) to 31 March 2024 - i.e. 2019/20 to 2023/24. The document states that it will be used when making decisions from September 2019 onwards. We would point out that the figures in the document will require updating as of 1 April 2020 and thus that the document should only be used until then (assuming it is correct).

4. Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Supply Calculations

Representation ID: 168453

Received: 14/10/2019

Respondent: Pigeon Land Ltd

Agent: Savills

Representation Summary:

Generally, the methodology used to calculate the five year housing requirement is in accordance with the conclusions reached during the Examination of the Local Plans. It should be noted that if housing supply had remained to be calculated on an individual basis, the document would demonstrate a 5YHLS of approximately 4.3 years in Cambridge and 5.4 years in South Cambridgeshire.

The figures in Table 4 in respect of Cambridge would be incorrect if read alone, as they take into account the over-supply up to 31 March 2019 when calculating the five-year requirement.

If the Sedgefield method were to be applied the 5YHLS would be approximately 4.3 (4.26) years in Cambridge and 4.5 (4.53) years in South Cambridgeshire, or approximately 5.1 (5.06) years in Greater Cambridge.

3. Approach to Preparing the Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Supply

Representation ID: 168454

Received: 14/10/2019

Respondent: Pigeon Land Ltd

Agent: Savills

Representation Summary:

We are concerned that projected delivery from some sites has been included in the trajectory, without there being sufficient clear evidence of deliverability, contrary to the policy and guidance in the NPPF / PPG.

The default position is that sites in category (b) should not be included in the 5YHLS unless there is clear evidence of deliverability. It should be noted that PPG ID: 68-007-20190722 is only an indication of what might be considered clear evidence. Whilst the conjunctive word is 'or' it is not the case that one of the forms of evidence given as an example will necessarily be sufficient on its own, rather a rounded view of the evidence available has to be reached.

We are concerned that some sites have been included, that fall into Category (b), for which there does not appear to be sufficient, or indeed in some cases any, clear evidence of deliverability.
