Proposed Submission Local Plan 2006-2028

Market Deliverability

4.103 Table 5: South Somerset Housing Trajectory 2006-2028 shows that the overall housing requirement for the District and the individual settlements can reasonably be achieved in market terms. Continuing provision of housing is anticipated throughout the plan period. The trajectory presents clear evidence that the housing distribution set out in Policy SS5 is realistic.

Policy SS5: Delivering New Housing Growth

Housing requirement will make provision for at least 15,950 dwellings in the plan period 2006 - 2028 of which 7,815 dwellings will be located within or adjacent to Yeovil, including a sustainable urban extension of 1,565 dwellings within the plan period, and a further 935 dwellings beyond the plan period.

This provision will include development and redevelopment within development areas, greenfield development identified within this Plan or to come forward through conversions of existing buildings, residential mobile homes and building elsewhere in accordance with the policy on development in rural settlements

The distribution of development across the settlement hierarchy will be in line with the numbers below:

* A further 935 dwellings are proposed at the Yeovil Urban Extension post 2028.
** A total of 3,237 dwellings are proposed in Chard, of which 1,376 dwellings are proposed at the Chard Growth Area post 2028.
*** 15,950 for the purposes of the overall provision is the District requirement to 2028. The cumulative total of 16,751 is 5% in excess of requirement but is considered in the context of development uncertainties and overall scale of provision, to be in broad agreement with the requirement.
 
Delivery

4.104 The following delivery bodies will be key in implementing Policy SS5:

  • South Somerset District Council;
