Welwyn and Hatfield Borough Council consulted on their Draft Local Plan Proposed Submission Document from 30th August 2016 to 24th October 2016.
On behalf of a client, SPRU submitted representations to the consultation stage supported by an assessment which found the planned level of housing was not supported by the most up-to-date evidence and that the Full Objectively Assessed Housing Need was higher than that planned for in the submitted plan. SPRU also submitted a report which found that the Council could not demonstrate a five year land supply and a housing trajectory that failed to consider evidence regarding the rates of delivery on the larger sites which had resulted in an overly optimistic rate of delivery.
