Introduction 1.1. This topic paper is one of a series produced by the Vale of Glamorgan as part of the evidence base for the Deposit Local Development Plan (LDP). Each topic paper can be read in isolation or together to gain a wider understanding of how the policies and/or allocations in the LDP have been developed to address issues facing the Vale of Glamorgan. It considers the requirements for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP in respect of the housing land supply needed to address the population forecasts during the Plan period. Further details on the Council’s population projections for the Vale of Glamorgan are set out in a separate background paper entitled ‘Population and Housing Projections’ (2011) 2. The Vale of Glamorgan LDP Strategic Housing Objective and Policy 2.1. The LDP recognises that one of the greatest demands for development land during the Plan period will come from the provision of housing to meet future changes in population growth. The importance of providing for a balanced range of housing is reflected in the LDP’s housing objective “To provide the opportunity for people in the Vale of Glamorgan to meet their housing needs”. POLICY SP 3 – RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO MEET THE IDENTIFIED RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENT, LAND IS MADE AVAILABLE IN SUSTAINABLE LOCATIONS FOR THE PROVISION OF 9950 NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS UP TO 2026. TO ENSURE A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF HOUSING LAND IS MAINTAINED DURING THE PLAN PERIOD, THE RELEASE OF HOUSING LAND WILL BE PHASED IN FIVE YEAR PERIODS WITH PRIORITY BEING GIVEN TO BROWNFIELD AND COMMITTED SITES. 2.2. Policy SP 3 identifies a housing requirement of 9,950 dwellings for the Plan period. The requirement figure is based on Welsh Government population projections for the Vale of Glamorgan. To accommodate this level of growth the LDP has identified a range of development opportunities throughout the Vale of Glamorgan. Further information on how the LDP housing requirement has been derived is set out in the Council’s Population and Housing Projections Background Topic Paper. Housing Supply Background Paper 2 Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011 - 2026 3. Supply of Housing Land 3.1. The supply of new residential development in the Vale of Glamorgan will be provided in accordance with Policy MG 1 which states: POLICY MG 1 - HOUSING SUPPLY IN THE VALE GLAMORGAN IN ORDER TO MEET THE HOUSING LAND REQUIREMENT OF 9,950 NEW DWELLINGS PROVISION WILL BE MADE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF UP TO 10,945 NEW DWELLINGS DURING THE PLAN PERIOD. THIS WILL BE MET THROUGH: 1. ALLOCATIONS WITHIN THE PLAN (INCLUDING 10% FLEXIBILITY); 2. DEVELOPMENT SITES WITH EXTANT PLANNING PERMISSIONS; 3. DEVELOPMENT OF UNALLOCATED WINDFALL SITES IN SUSTAINABLE LOCATIONS AND 4. SMALL SITES, INCLUDING INFILL, THE CONVERSION OF SUITABLE BUILDINGS AND SUBDIVISION OF EXISTING DWELLINGS. TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING LAND IS MAINTAINED DURING THE PLAN PERIOD, THE RELEASE OF HOUSING LAND WILL BE PHASED IN FIVE YEAR PERIODS WITH PRIORITY BEING GIVEN TO BROWNFIELD AND COMMITTED SITES. 3.2. Policy MG 1 of the LDP indicates that the housing requirement for 9950 dwellings will be provided through a number of sources namely: (i) Allocations within the Plan; (ii) Development of sites with extant planning permissions as at April 2011; (iii) Development of unallocated windfall sites and (iv) Development of unallocated small sites. 3.3. Additionally Policy MG 1 indicates that the Plan includes a 10% margin for flexibility. This is achieved by the provision of an additional 995 dwellings which can be released if required. These sites are marked as “reserve sites” in the supply list and will only be released if other allocated sites do not come forward as planned or if there is an increase in the need for additional housing sites in the Plan period. The provision of these reserve sites will ensure the availability of a range and choice of housing land throughout the Plan period. As a consequence, if necessary, these reserve sites will be developed during the latter part of the plan period or carried forward to the next plan period as appropriate. Further information in respect of each component of the housing supply is outlined below. (i) Allocations within the Plan – land for new residential development is allocated in accordance with Policies SP3 and MG2 for 7721 dwellings. This has been derived by assessing the anticipated contribution from other sources of housing identified in Policy MG 1, which is discussed below. Housing Supply Background Paper 3 Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011 - 2026 3.4. In determining the contribution of each site towards meeting the LDP’s housing requirements, the Council have used an indicative capacity of 25 to 30 net dwellings per hectare. The densities for each site have been applied to take account of site mitigation measures, densities of existing developments locally and where appropriate current planning permissions. It is acknowledged that when detailed planning applications are submitted, the number of dwellings proposed on each site may be higher or lower than this estimate. However, the Council considers that on the basis of past developments, the densities of between 25 and 30 net dwellings per hectare reflects development patterns in the Vale of Glamorgan. 3.5. Table 1 provides a list of the sites allocated for housing development in Policy MG 2.
