Tewkesbury Borough Five Year Supply - Epilogue Our successful appeal at Gotherington on behalf of Lioncourt Strategic Land Limited, marked the latest in a line of Appeal Decisions confirming that the Borough does not have a 5-year housing land supply. Now that the dust has settled, the Council has published its widely anticipated Five Year Housing Land Supply Statement. In summary, the Statement (on page 10) accepts that the Borough cannot demonstrate a five-year supply figure and calculates supply at 3.24 years equating to a 1,032 dwelling shortfall. It also goes on to provide delivery trajectories for various sites across the Borough. It has to be said that this is a welcome admission on the part of the Borough Council to rightly recognise the serious housing delivery problem it faces. Also, it should be noted that paragraph 10.3 of the document signs off with the following: "The Development Plan remains the statutory starting point for decision making and the titled balance (NPPF para 11) is a material consideration. To assist decision-making on planning applications for housing and the consideration of relevant policies the council will be publishing Interim Housing Position Statement later in Autumn." Whilst we await that with interest, attention should equally turn to the much-vaunted review of the JCS, which is the only plan-led solution to solving this problem, which will not be at examination until 2026 at the earliest. If you want to discuss the ramifications of the Statement for your land interests please contact Nathan McLoughlin. #planning #housingcrisis #localplan

Spelthorne local plan – will it or won’t it it be withdrawn……?   As with many Surrey Council’s, progress in preparing a Local Plan, is filled with uncertainty and drama and in Spelthorne such uncertainty seems to be rumbling on and on…. In September 23 (some 4 hours before the Council’s Committee Meeting), Housing Minister Rachel Mclean MP wrote to Spelthorne Borough Council advising them not to withdraw their local plan from examination. This was not well received by the Council who wrote to the housing minister indicating that it was “unacceptable” to have intervened in the manner it did, to which the Minister reiterated her ‘direction’ to not to withdrawn the plan form examination. In a 7 page letter dated 6th October, Council Leader Joanne Sexton and Daniel Mouawad CEO, wrote to the Minister for a second time indicating that Spelthorne does not consider that intervention was necessary but advising that the Plan will continue to examination and that a pause with the Inspectorate has been secured until the revised NPPF is published. The next steps are eagerly awaited, and the letter can be viewed in full here attached... #localplans #plans #planning #newhomes #homes #build #development
