Whilst in general terms, this objective mentions housing generally, it does not set out how much housing will be provided. This is a determining factor in deciding what is the most appropriate spatial strategy is and should inform the basis of future strategic policies, as required by the NPPF. Whilst we acknowledge that the Council seek to meet their needs in full, the housing requirement should be clearer in this strategic objective to fully show that the plan is positively prepared and justified in accordance with paragraph 35 of the NPPF.
