Minutes:
Sarah Anderton, Principal Planning Officer, introduced an update report setting out that, against a need to demonstrate delivery of 5 years housing land supply at 1 April 2015, the Council has 3.3 years.
In response to questions it was explained that:
· The latest figures demonstrated an improvement on the 2014 figure of 2.1 years.
· It was common practice to calculate the housing land supply in April, and a further mid-year review would prove resource intensive.
· After the next Regulation 18 consultation the position on the five year housing supply figure would be clearer.
The Committee requested that officers keep a watching brief on the housing land supply and report back at the earliest opportunity once the five year supply is achieved.
RESOLVED: That the Council’s 3.3 years’ supply of housing land as of 1 April 2015 be noted.
