The level of growth proposed is around 2,500 dwellings above the WG 2014-based principal and 10 year migration projection. The Council has concluded that the WG projections would result in 'too low' growth levels and would compound negative demographic and economic prospects for the LPA. The level of housing growth proposed in the Preferred Strategy broadly aligns with the past 15 year build rate trend (300 p/a) and is slightly above the past 10 year past build rates (250 p/a). The housing requirement is 2,200 dwellings lower than the current adopted plan required of 6,520 dwellings.
