The 2016 housing supply figures are...
...finally available.
Not great news but I guess it could be worse!
The headline figure for the North & West Wiltshire Housing Market Area is that it has a 5.13 year deliverable housing supply.
The National Planning Policy Framework requires Local Planning Authorities (Wiltshire Council in our case) to identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites to demonstrate whether they can provide five years of housing against their HMA housing requirements, with an additional buffer to ensure choice and competition in the market for land. Within Wiltshire, a 5% buffer is required (or 5.25 years in total).
