Delivering a local plan housing target

As a consequence of the abolition of regional plans, there is a need for us, as the local planning authority, to develop a local plan which determines and provides for the level of housing needed in the long term.

To do this, we need to consider both relevant policy and evidence on housing demand, needs and supply.

The purpose of this paper is to establish a housing target for the local plan. This will provide the basis for determining the housing allocations up to 2032.

This paper pulls together all of the evidence available and firstly sets out the objective assessment of housing needs within the Scarborough borough local plan area. The document then, based on the objective assessment of housing needs, seeks to establish a robust housing target for inclusion within the local plan.
