LETTER: Concerned about local plan
Not surprisingly, the housing number has continued to climb – with an Overall Assessed Need (OAN) now of 919 houses per annum – 62 per cent higher than if we had pressed on with the Local Plan in 2009 – and this figure will almost certainly increase when obligations under the duty to co-operate are factored in.
I am concerned the local plan has been unnecessarily delayed. Arun’s failure to maintain a Five Year Housing Land Supply has also led to catastrophic predatory development across the district.
