Chapter 27 Contingencies and Risks for Site
Allocations
Housing Provision
27.1.1
Contingency and risk with regard to housing provision has been taken into account in Chapter 23 Diversity Housing through the inclusion of the appropriate buffer over the housing target for the first 5 years. A Housing Trajectory is provided in Chapter 28. The housing target is monitored on an annual basis in the Council’s Monitoring Report as set out in Chapter 26 Monitoring.
27.1.2
With regard to affordable housing provision, the affordable housing target set out in Chapter 23 Diversity of Housing has been set with regard to evidence on the financial viability of development using assumptions with ‘built-in’ contingencies. In any case, the approach to seek the ‘maximum reasonable amount’ of affordable housing and consideration of viability issues at planning application stage ensures that the Local Plan policies and implementation have ‘built-in’ contingencies to ensure that the implementation of the plan is not put at serious risk, as required by the NPPF.

From Planning Inspectorate decision letters that cite CE7. Dismissed = the council's refusal stood, the policy held; allowed = overturned. Too few decisive appeals for a rate — the counts are the record. The tighter join — this borough's own refusals citing CE7 traced to their specific appeals — is still to come.

Atlas intelligence summarises patterns and observations from published planning records. Past decisions do not indicate how any future application will be determined. Every application is assessed on its own merits, having regard to the proposal, site, evidence and policies applying at the time.
