Planning Strategy Updates PDF 15 KB To consider a presentation from the Head of Planning Strategy and Economic Development to provide a general update on prevailing planning strategy matters. This update will include information on the results of the Housing Delivery Test published in January 2021.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Panel received a presentation form the Head of Planning Strategy and Economic Development, Gayle Wootton updating Members on aspects of Planning Strategy that are significant but do not require an individual report for consideration.
The presentation began with an update on the Council’s current Housing Delivery Test position. Members expressed their concerns over the details provided which showed a pessimistic outlook. The main point of discussion for Members of the Panel was that the Government’s targets have not reflected the nitrate neutrality issue which will have a significant detrimental effect on the Council’s ability to meet the Housing Delivery Test going forward. Officers explained that - until a sustainable, long term nitrate mitigation strategy is in place, the Housing Delivery Test is going to be a concern for many years to come. Officers also explained that the Partnership for South Hampshire (PfSH) have continued throughout the last two years to lobby Members of Parliament on this matter, but as yet no resolution has been identified.
