Need For Development
The need for housing nationally is well known and increasing. The government currently plan to build 1.5 million homes in Britain by 2029. As a result of this, Local Councils have seen an increase in their local housing requirement numbers. South Derbyshire District Council was previously required to provide 507 new homes per year, and is now required to deliver 581 new homes per year, an increase of 13% per year.
The Council must now find new options for residential developments in a New Local Plan, beyond their existing allocated sites found in the adopted Local Plan, to meet these increased requirements. This means sites in suitable locations should be delivered to help meet local housing need.
