Minutes:

The Principal Housing Officer, Spatial Planning presented the report outling the implications of the latest projections and latest practice for the borough’s objectively assessed housing need and care home needs figures.

 

During discussion it was agreed the Council had done all that was possible to reduce the objectively assessed housing need figure.  The Planning, Transport and Development Overview and Scrutiny Committee had asked communities to come forward with alternative ideas to reduce the figure.  Some ideas had been put forward but they would not stand up to scrutiny by a planning inspector.
