Calderdale Local Plan - Housing Update Paper

APPENDIX 4 - Calderdale Local Plan - Housing Update Paper

October 2019

1. Introduction

1.1 This paper has been prepared to set out Calderdale Council’s updated position on housing requirements following the receipt of the Inspector’s letter after the stage 1 Calderdale Local Plan hearings. The paper also sets out potential additional housing allocations that the Council considers would be needed to provide sufficient supply of land to achieve the proposed requirement.

1.2 The Calderdale Local Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State on 11 January 2019 and the Council cannot therefore make any main modifications to the Plan at this stage. The information in this paper will however form the basis for the Council’s case at futures hearings that will consider the soundness of the Plan.

1.3 In order assist the Inspector and ensure that the Public Examination can proceed in a fair and transparent manner, the contents of this paper and other supporting documents will be the subject of a six week consultation during October and November 2019. The scope of this consultation is set out in the associated report to the Council’s Cabinet on 30 September 2019.

1.4 This paper should be read in conjunction with the following documents:

i. Modelling the economic implications of the proposed housing requirement – report prepared by Turley on behalf of the Council, August 2019

ii. Potential modifications to the draft Local Plan following the receipt of the Planning Inspector’s post-stage 1 hearings letter – report to Council’s Cabinet, 14 October 2019

iii. Sustainability Appraisal of options, September 2019

iv. Addendum to Calderdale Local Plan: Appendix 1 – Site Allocations Supporting Information (Publication Draft), September 2019

v. Updated Local Plan Site Assessment Reports, September 2019

vi. Technical Note on the Impact of Potential Housing Allocations on Hipperholme Crossroads, September 2019

The above documents will be placed in the Examination Library on the Council’s website prior to the commencement of the consultation period mentioned above.

2. Housing requirement 2017/18 to 2032/33

2.1 The Council’s annual housing requirement is 1,040 dwellings per year or 15,600 dwellings over the life of the Local Plan. This reflects Calderdale’s aspiration for economic growth.

3. Housing supply

3.1 As indicated in the accompanying Cabinet and Local Plan Working Party reports, there are two alternative approaches to identifying sufficient supply to meet the above requirement. The first option reflects a continuation of the approach that was used for the Submitted Plan – ‘Standard Option’ (Option A). The second option is predicated on increased sustainability – ‘Sustainable Option’ (Option B). The options are described in the accompanying reports to Cabinet and Local Plan Working Party.

3.2 Option B performs best when subject to Sustainability Appraisal and minimises the use of Green Belt. Option B therefore forms the basis for the Council’s case at the forthcoming Local Plan hearings. The implications of both options are however shown below for information and the purposes of comparison.

Option A – Standard Option (non-preferred option)
