In conclusion, we are concerned that the identified sources of housing land supply will be incapable of meeting the housing requirement identified by the Plan. In addition, given the housing requirement should be a minimum there is clearly a distinct advantage in erring on the side of caution, and applying robust and realistic lapse rates to the various sources of supply as if additional housing does come forward this will be of no detriment to the Plan. However, a housing delivery shortfall has the potential to be extremely problematic, causing five year housing land supply issues, the LPA’s failing the Housing Delivery Test and preventing the provision of much needed market and affordable housing within the Black Country.
