    The housing delivery test is now calculated using a new standard method calculation, which is based on existing housing stock and affordability, rather than housing projections.

  • Claire Miller (26 September 2024)

    As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we think that this consideration is an OUTPUT, and created during the local plan process.
