Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing requires Local Planning Authorities to identify and maintain an up-to-date five year supply of deliverable housing sites, in line with the housing provision targets set out in the Regional Spatial Strategy.
The Draft Regional Spatial Strategy for the East Midlands (RSS 8) requires Amber Valley between 2001 and 2026 to deliver 11,625 houses equating to 465 per annum. Between 2001 and March 2007 2,194 houses were built in Amber Valley leaving a residual annual build requirement of 584 houses over the next five years to ensure that the Draft RSS housing figures are delivered.
Amber Valley has identified a sufficient supply of deliverable housing sites to provide for a five year housing supply. This document gives an analysis of how the five year housing supply has been calculated and includes a list of all the large committed sites and those allocated in the Local Plan that make up the supply as of April 1st 2007.
