The emerging local plan as informed by the Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment 2018 (HEDNA) has identified an annual housing requirement of 315 dwellings per year net. This gives a housing requirement to 2035 of 6,615 homes. The government introduced a housing requirement under the Housing Delivery Test using the “Standard Method” which gives a housing requirement of 226 homes per year On each of these Hambleton has exceeded the set requirements: o Against the LDF target, since 2004 there has been 5,482 completions against a target of 4,800 dwellings, averaging 343 homes per year. o Since 31st March 2014, the start date for the new local plan, in all 2,739 homes up to early March 2020 have been completed against a requirement of 1,890 dwellings. Completions have averaged 457 homes per year. Development Progress since 1st April 2019 From 1/4/19 to early March 2020 there have been 596 gross completions, this is the highest annual number of completions to date, when results for the full year are available, and the final total is expected to exceed 600, given the current levels of activity. During the period 2018/2019, the gross number of homes completed was 475. Generally demolition numbers are very low for Hambleton. During 2019/2020 there were 23 notified demolitions of which only five sites saw loss of dwelling stock totalling 5 dwellings, see appendix 4, for details. Most demolitions were for replacement dwellings (which are excluded from HDC’s housing supply figures) or for other non-residential structures. Therefore, during the year 2019/2020 gross completions numbered 596 units, which equates to 591 net. The LDF target is 55% completions on Brownfield land, in 2019/2020 just 13.2% were completed on Brownfield sites, compared to 23.2% in 2018/2019. In 2019/2020, the total number of dwellings permitted on brownfield sites was 31% of the total. In 2018/2019, the figure was 37.6%.(Figure 2.1). During 2019/2020, 326 dwellings were permitted, with 57 homes gaining permission on three LDF allocated sites and 269 dwellings were permitted on windfall sites. Yet supply showed significant an increase over the figure in the 2018/2019 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment as the draft local plan allocations were added to the supply despite an increase in building tempo. Major strategic sites allocated under the Local Development Framework are well underway in Northallerton and at Sowerby, Thirsk. The North Northallerton scheme was submitted in May 2015, work started in March 2017, residential development was well underway by March 2020, with nearly 70% of phase 1 complete (208 units built out of 298 on site), permission for phase 2 was approved in February 2020 for a further 472 units, the link road is due for completion by October 2020. Sowerby Gateway strategic site phases 1 & 2 saw 339 completions, phase 3 comprises 641 dwellings, to date 143 units have been built, with 86 so far during 2019/2020. In addition, a further 97 affordable units were approved at Planning Committee in October 2019, this scheme has yet to start. The total capacity for Sowerby Gateway is 1,077 dwellings. There were 118 (19.7% of the 2019/20 total) new build affordable homes completed in this monitoring period compared with 92 during 2018/2019 (see Figure 3.15). The target from the latest Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment is to provide 55 affordable units per year. Five Year Supply - Hambleton has a five year supply for the period ending 5th March 2020. o There were a potential total of 3,492 units expected to be delivered within the next 5 years to 2025, this equates to a 10.5 year supply (with a 5% buffer applied). o As at early March 2020 there are over 600 homes under construction, across over 400 active sites. o Supply for the next five years to 2025 comes from three sources: . 1,790 dwellings from LDF Allocations . 1,227 dwellings from known windfall sites (that is, sites with planning permission . 475 from proposed new draft allocations under the new local plan o Post 2025 there are a further 1,645 dwellings to be built. Windfall permissions have remained healthy, in total, since 2004 the number of windfall dwellings permitted amounts to 6,954 dwellings, averaging 435 homes per year. This rate has the raised slightly since April 2014 the base date for the new local plan, 336 windfall homes have been permitted per year. Since 2004 windfall completions account for 61% of the total completions totalling 3,339 homes. Work on establishing a “non-implementation” rate has shown that this is very low, averaging since 2004, about 3.0% of permitted units, totally just 320 units out of a potential 10,621 plots on sites with or which have had planning permission. In total, there are 880 dwellings to be provided across 377 identified sites of under 1ha. This will amount to 18% of the total supply as at March 2020 and 13.3% of the total housing requirement for the emerging local plan of 6,615 dwellings. CHAPTER 1 MEETING LOCAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS SUSTAINABLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Sustainable development has been at the heart of the development plan for many years; in the current adopted Core Strategy in Core Policy CP1 and now in the emerging Local Plan in Policy S 1. 1.2 A key part of achieving sustainable development is redevelopment of previously developed land (brownfield) in preference to the development of greenfield land. This aim is reflected in current development plan target in Development Policy DP12. 1.3 A key part of achieving sustainable development is redevelopment of previously developed land (brownfield) in preference to the development of greenfield land. This aim is reflected in current development plan target in Development Policy DP12. 1.4 Figures 1.1 and 1.2 below show respectively how many dwellings were granted planning permission and how many were completed on greenfield and previously developed land (brownfield) since 2004, the start of the LDF plan period. Dwellings Permitted Year Total Brownfield Greenfield 2004/2005 226 76% 70 24% 296 2005/2006 473 95% 26 5% 499 2006/2007 510 90% 57 10% 567 2007/2008 265 87% 40 13% 305 2008/2009 127 70% 55 30% 182 2009/2010 72 71% 30 29% 102 2010/2011 156 86% 26 14% 182 2011/2012 388 85% 69 15% 457 2012/2013 138 12% 1049 88% 1187 2013/2014 470 70% 206 30% 676 2014/2015 55 16% 284 84% 339 2015/2016 35 3% 1268 97% 1303 2016/2017 141 10% 1255 90% 1396 2017/2018 148 30% 346 70% 494 2018/2019 204 38% 338 62% 542 2019/2020 101 31% 225 69% 326 Figure 1.1: Permissions Granted for Dwellings on Greenfield and Brownfield Land 1.5 Between 2004 and 2012 most of the permissions granted for residential development were on brownfield land. As LDF allocations came forward, greenfield permissions tended to dominate, so in 2015/2016 just 3% of dwellings were permitted on brownfield land. There has been an improvement in the brownfield permission rate since 2015/2016 seeing an increase it is holding steady over the past three years at around 30%. So far during 2019/2020 around 31% of dwellings gaining permission were on brownfield land. Dwellings Completed Year Total Brownfield Greenfield 2004/2005 127 58% 91 42% 218 2005/2006 297 73% 108 27% 405 2006/2007 351 91% 36 9% 387 2007/2008 379 91% 39 9% 418 2008/2009 257 85% 46 15% 303 2009/2010 185 81% 42 19% 227 2010/2011 231 83% 49 18% 280 2011/2012 162 92% 15 8% 177 2012/2013 130 87% 20 13% 150 2013/2014 111 57% 83 43% 194 2014/2015 197 62% 120 38% 317 2015/2016 170 46% 197 54% 367 2016/2017 191 34% 376 66% 567 2017/2018 212 51% 205 49% 417 2018/2019 110 23% 365 77% 475 2019/2020 71 12% 525 88% 596 Figure 1.2: Gross housing completions on Greenfield and Brownfield Land 1.6 Figure 1.2 above shows that just 12% of completions in the monitoring period April 2019 to early March 2020 were on brownfield sites. The table above shows a steady reduction in brownfield completions from a peak rate of 92% in 2011/12. This reflects the low proportion of brownfield permissions in previous years.
