The HBF requests that in point 1 the word "approximately" should be replaced by the words "minimum of" and the word "contingency" be changed to "flexibility" to avoid confusion. The HBF also objects to the housing figure as discussed elsewhere in our comments.

Part accepted. CCBC will seek to deliver this number of new homes but there may be variables throughout the Plan period which affect this figure and therefore the inclusion of 'approximately' is considered to be reasonable. Agree to change 'contingency' to 'flexibility' in line with national guidance.

The local authority has stated that the economic downturn had a significant effect on the failure of the existing LDP to deliver even 50% of the target number of houses over the plan period. Whilst this may be true in part, real consideration must be given to the inequitable treatment of different settlements regarding their requirement to provide affordable housing, as well as the overall percentage itself.

It is clear that setting unrealistic affordable housing targets contributed significantly to the County failing to built the number of houses the LDP required.
