Strategic Priority 3 (within the objective Housing that meets all our needs) is to provide a range and choice of accommodation, house types and tenures to meet the needs of current and future residents.
Strategic Priority 3 should be explicit that meeting the needs of current and future residents requires a strategic policy-making authority to establish a housing requirement figure or its whole area, which shows the extent to which their identified housing need (and any needs that cannot be met within neighbouring areas) can be met over the plan period.

It is important for Strategic Priority 3 to be set within the context of the requirement upon a strategic plan making authority to identify sufficient land for homes.

Strategic Priority 3 should commit to meeting this obligation of identifying sufficient land for homes.
