Our response:

Not accepted. This is due to availability of data in relation to AH need. Whilst there is currently a shortfall in housing delivery in relation to the adopted LDP housing requirements, these were based on previous WG projections which were superseded even before adoption of the LDP. The RLDP use the latest available data refer to BP/1 & BP/11.
