  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

• Kieran Wint (05 September 2024)

  We have been unable to find any sort of information on the frequency with which this data is likely to be updated.
