(ii) The Council’s latest housing requirements are set out in the Local Development Plan (approved by the Secretary of State in July 2017) and associated evidence base including an up-to-date assessment of the District’s Objectively Assessed Need (OAN). The OAN identifies the District’s housing requirement for the Plan period as 280 new homes per annum, which has been uplifted to 310 in the LDP, or 4,650 over the plan period (2014- 2029). The base-line housing requirement for housing over the 5 year period of the 5YHLS is the LDP target (310) x 5. To this is added the shortfall in completions since the beginning of the Local Development Plan period. In addition, a 5% NPPF buffer has been applied for choice and competition, in recognition of the Housing Delivery Test results. The District’s requirement for a five year housing land supply (5YHLS): Annual target x 5 (310 x 5=1,550) + Shortfall in completions from previous years (384) + 5% NPPF buffer (97) = 2,031 (iii) The District’s housing supply consists of sites with planning permission, Local Development Plan Strategic Allocations and a windfall allowance for years 3-5 of the 5YHLS period. A 2% allowance for slippage and non-implementation is deducted from the total 5 year supply. The District’s supply: LDP Strategic Allocations and other sites with planning permission (1,686) + LDP Strategic Allocations without planning permission or a resolution to grant planning permission subject to completion of a S106 agreement (120) + Windfall Allowance (225) - 2% slippage and non-implementation rate (-41) = 1,990 5YHLS calculation: Total supply / Rolling five-year housing requirement x 5 1,990 / 2,031 x 5 = 4.90 years (iv) The Council can therefore demonstrate 4.90 years’ worth of housing land supply against its identified housing target. 3 Maldon District Council – Five -Year Housing Land Supply Statement November 2019 Introduction 1. This statement sets out Maldon District Council’s housing land supply and identifies specific sites which are considered to meet the criteria set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (MHCLG, 2019) and contribute to the five years provision. 2. This statement has been prepared in accordance with the NPPF and the National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG). 3. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s housing objectives including a commitment to significantly boost the supply of housing. 4. Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) are required to identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5%, 10% or 20% depending on local circumstances or the outcome of the Housing Delivery Test. NPPF para 73 Strategic policies should include a trajectory illustrating the expected rate of housing delivery over the plan period, and all plans should consider whether it is appropriate to set out the anticipated rate of development for specific sites. Local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic policies, or against their local housing need where the strategic policies are more than five years old. The supply of specific deliverable sites should in addition include a buffer (moved forward from later in the plan period) of: a) 5% to ensure choice and competition in the market for land; or b) 10% where the local planning authority wishes to demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable sites through an annual position statement or recently adopted plan, to account for any fluctuations in the market during that year; or c) 20% where there has been significant under delivery of housing over the previous three years, to improve the prospect of achieving the planned supply [footnote 39: delivery is measured against the Housing Delivery Test]. 4 Maldon District Council – Five -Year Housing Land Supply Statement November 2019 5. For the purposes of the NPPF, deliverable sites are defined as follows: Deliverable: To be considered deliverable, sites for housing should be available now, offer a suitable location for development now, and be achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years. In particular: a) sites which do not involve major development and have planning permission, and all sites with detailed planning permission, should be considered deliverable until permission expires, unless there is clear evidence that homes will not be delivered within five years (for example because they are no longer viable, there is no longer a demand for the type of units or sites have long term phasing plans). b) where a site has outline planning permission for major development, has been allocated in a development plan, has a grant of permission in principle, or is identified on a brownfield register, it should only be considered deliverable where there is clear evidence that housing completions will begin on site within
