The HBF considers that CAT4 sites should not be included in the commitments calculation.
The housing trajectory does not take account of committed sites. The council do not reduce the level of windfalls due to changes in funding for RSLs.
The commitments should be discounted to take account of the recognised likelihood of non-delivery from allocated sites.
The non-delivery of Council owned allocated sites needs to be considered when looking at allocations in the future.

Accepted in part. The Deposit Plan will include a full housing trajectory as per the tables in the draft LDP Manual (Edition 3). This will use the WG methodology and should address some of the issues raised here.
