The HBF are concerned that the wording of this paragraph suggests that the only way to deliver more homes is to ask for less in the first place. The housing provision should be set taking account of the identified need as a starting point as advised in PPW, and then making adjustments to allow for any economic or other aspirations which are linked to the need for housing, the wider North Wales Growth Deal is relevant for instance. It would be wrong for the plan to set the housing need at a level just to give a better chance of being able to deliver the numbers particularly if this is based on historical build rates. What is more important is to ensure that the sites allocated are the right ones and can be delivered and that other policies do not affect this deliverability.
