The build rate is not 'extremely ambitious'. The evidence at Examination supported it including capacity in the housebuilding industry along with housing need. The current LHMA (2016-2021) shows a need for at least 199 affordable housing units per year.

Not accepted. The point of this paragraph is that in comparison with recent build rates the Council maintain that building 435 per year is extremely ambitious. The housing requirement will be reviewed using the latest evidence as part of the LDP review process.
