WALSINGHAM CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL AND MANAGEMENT
PROPOSALS
The Working Party considered the Officer’s report which recommended that the
Walsingham Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals be adopted
for statutory planning purposes and become a material consideration in the planning
process.
The Conservation, Design and Landscape Manager commended Martha Moore,
Planning Officer, who had carried out the majority of the work on the Walsingham
Planning Policy & Built Heritage Working Party
1

23 September 2013
Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals, in conjunction with Paul
Rhymes, Conservation and Design Officer. He also expressed his appreciation to
the Walsingham Parish Council and Councillor T FitzPatrick, the local Member, for
their involvement.
The Conservation, Design and Landscape Manager stated that there was a need to
review Conservation Areas from time to time to ensure that they were up to date,
including reviewing their boundaries. To date, 22 of the 82 Conservation Areas had
been reviewed and 9 documents had been adopted by the Council, mainly relating to
the towns. Once adopted, the documents could be used to inform decisions on
planning applications within the designated areas.
The Conservation, Design and Landscape Manager stated that the management
proposals were most important. Further controls could be considered at a later date,
which would cost nothing except staff time in assessing whether or not they were
required, (eg. Article 4 Direction). In Walsingham, many buildings were nationally
listed but there were gaps between them where changes could be made under
permitted development rights without further controls. It would be difficult to find
funding to carry out public realm enhancement in the current economic climate,
however some work could be done without investing a large amount of financial
resources, merely by co-operating with other bodies such as Norfolk County Council.
The Conservation, Design and Landscape Manager answered Members’ questions:






Article 4 Directions had full legal status under the Planning legislation.
Contravention of an Article 4 Direction could be subject to enforcement
action.
Any major enhancement of Friday Market Place would require substantial
investment from this authority and Norfolk County Council. However, much of
the surfacing in Walsingham was of a simple treatment and it might be
possible to make improvements without spending large sums of money, in
conjunction with Norfolk County Council (as part of an ongoing programme of
maintenance).
Friday Market Place did not currently host a market; however it was one of
the two most important public spaces. Its main purpose was currently for use
as a car park. This was a valid use, since management of Conservation
Areas was not always about aesthetics, but how a place worked. Serious
concerns had been expressed regarding the impact of traffic though, and it
was necessary to get the balance right. The issue of buses entering the
Friday Market Place and High Street was a very real one and needed to be
addressed.
Local listing alone would not prevent alterations being made to buildings, (eg.
replacement windows). An Article 4 Direction would be required to remove
permitted development rights. The report suggested that an Article 4
Direction could be made in respect of 3-5 Bridewell Street..
No additional land had been identified for car parking.
There were some buildings around The Green at Great Walsingham which
were not nationally listed.
Additional points were raised by Members:


The Pump should be put forward for national listing.
It would be very difficult to restrict traffic in the High Street as there were a
number of care homes which required access.

It was suggested that Article 4 Directions should be automatic when buildings
were locally listed and removed if they were not necessary.
It was proposed by Councillor P W High, seconded by Councillor Mrs S A Arnold and
RESOLVED unanimously
That Cabinet be recommended:
1.
To adopt the Walsingham Conservation Area Appraisal and
Management Proposals for statutory planning purposes and for it
to be a ‘material consideration’ in the planning process.
2.
To adopt the proposed boundary change as recommended in the
Final Draft of the Appraisal document and that it be publicised in
accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings & Conservation
Areas) Act 1990.
3.
That the buildings identified for Local Listing be formally
recognised and recorded.
4.
That an Article 4 Direction be made in respect of 3-5 Bridewell

PUBLIC BUSINESS – ITEM FOR DECISION
Housing Land Supply – Publication of Statement of Five Year Supply of Residential
Development Land.
This report provides an overview of the amount of land which is available for housing
development in the District, identifies how much of this land might reasonably be
expected to be developed over the next five years and seeks authority to publish a
statement of the Council’s position.
1. INTRODUCTION
Each year the Council is required to publish a document which identifies the quantity of
land in the District which is likely to be available for housing development over the next five
years (Document attached as Appendix A). The number of dwellings assessed as likely to
be built is then compared with the housing targets for the District in the adopted Core
Strategy. Authorities should aim to retain a rolling five year supply of land, plus a
contingency of between 5% and 20%, which is available and suitable for development with
sufficient supply to ensure that housing targets can be met. The expectation is that through
the preparation of Local Plans and the processing of planning applications the Authority
should take a proactive role to ensure that an adequate supply of housing land is available
at all times.
In the absence of a five year supply the NPPF introduces a presumption in favour of
sustainable development meaning that planning permission should be granted for
sustainable residential development proposals until such time as the land supply position is
corrected. This presumption in favour of sustainable development should be applied even
in those circumstances where development would otherwise be contrary to adopted
development plan policies.
2. REQUIREMENT - WHAT IS A FIVE YEAR REQUIREMENT FOR HOUSING IN
NORTH NORFOLK?
The baseline target for housing in North Norfolk is derived from the adopted Core Strategy
which requires a minimum of 8,000 dwellings over a twenty year plan period or an average
of at least 400 dwellings per year. To derive a five year requirement this annual average is
multiplied by five years and is then subject to two further modifications. Firstly, it is
necessary to make allowance for any under or over delivery in earlier years of the plan
period and, secondly the NPPF requires that a buffer of either 5% or 20% is added to the
target. Finally, the target to be provided is compared with likely future supply to produce a
number of year’s of available supply.
METHODOLOGY
Baseline Target + Buffer (5% or 20%) + Previous Shortfalls = Total to be provided
Total to be provided compared to Deliverable Supply = Years Supply.
The publication of the Five Year Land Supply Statement is the Councils statement of
supply and the explanation of the methodology used in determining that supply. As such it
Planning Policy & Built Heritage Working Party

is a key consideration in the Development Management process as the absence of
sufficient supply can result in the approval of development that is contrary to policy
provided such development is judged to be sustainable.
In the first fourteen years of the plan period the rate of new dwelling completions fell behind
the annual average mainly as a result of there being few larger development sites available
in the early years of the plan period and, more recently, the slowdown in the national and
local housing market. As of April 2014 a total of 773 fewer dwellings had been built than
were required to remain ‘on target’. Consequently, the Council should plan to make up this
deficit, preferably in the next five year period, to maximise the likelihood that overall
dwelling targets will be met within the plan period.
If this accumulated shortfall and a 5% buffer is added to the annual average target of 400
dwellings the current target for housing provision is 575 dwellings per year or 2,873 over
the next five year period.
3. SUPPLY - CURRENT HOUSING LAND SUPPLY IN NORTH NORFOLK
Guidance requires that to ‘count’ towards the five year land supply sites must comply with a
number of criteria:




In the main they must be specific identifiable sites although some allowance can
be made for ‘windfall’ developments (sites which are not identifiable until such
time as planning applications are made) - provided there is a strong likelihood
that such sites will actually be developed within the period.
the identified sites must be available for development now, and
they must be suitable for development, and
development must be achievable; there should be a reasonable prospect of a
site actually being developed. It is not sufficient to include sites merely because
they have planning permission or are allocated for development in a
Development Plan. It is important to show that houses will actually be provided
within the applicable five year period.
The Council is currently able to point to a large land supply in the adopted Site Allocations
Development Plan which includes land for around 3,400 dwellings but it is not able to
demonstrate that all of these sites are immediately available or have a reasonable prospect
of being developed within the next five years. For example, much of the large allocation at
Fakenham is assessed as being unlikely to deliver development in the next five years.
Indeed, the Core Strategy and Site Allocation Development Plans are 15 -20 year Plans
which anticipate that some sites will be slower to deliver housing than others. The latest
statement (attached) covering the five year period commencing April 2014 concludes that
through a combination of sites with planning permission, sites that are under construction,
and those that are likely to provide dwellings over the next five years, the District could
provide approximately 3,152 dwellings - equating to 5.4 years supply inclusive of a 5%
buffer.

4. LAND SUPPLY AND TRAJECTORY – WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PIPELINE?
The pipeline of future housing supply is drawn from four main sources:




Permitted - Dwellings on sites which already have planning permission but
where development is yet to start but where there is a reasonable prospect of
completed units within the next 5 years. This category will include partly finished
sites.
Under Construction - Dwellings which are under construction but are not yet
complete. Dwellings where development has started but are not likely to be
finished (long term dormant) are not counted.
Allocated - Dwellings on identified sites (allocations) which do not yet have
planning permission but nevertheless are likely to provide completed houses
within five years.
Windfall – Allowance for dwellings on unidentified sites. A significant proportion
of new development in the district is derived from developments which are not
on allocated sites but nevertheless comply with policy. This includes changes of
use, barn conversion schemes, removal of holiday occupancy conditions
together with infill and redevelopment proposals.
In previous years around half of the permitted supply was on small sites with consent
for less than 10 dwellings. However, for the first time in some years there are larger
sites where planning permissions have been granted and development has
commenced. Small sites now comprise around one third of the total future supply and
housing delivery in the coming years will be increasingly dependant on the
development of the larger sites. Building conversions (barns) and the removal of holiday
occupancy restrictions continue to make a significant contribution to overall supply
figures. Government has published recent advice which in future years will allow
residential care and nursing homes to be included in the housing provision totals.
5. ALTERNATIVE METHODOLOGIES
There is no definitive government advice in relation to the preparation of five year land
supply statements and given that the absence of an adequate supply is a key
determining consideration in the planning application process it is unsurprising that
supply statements are subject to challenge through planning appeals. Both planning
authorities and the development industry have adopted alternative methodologies to
demonstrate that an adequate supply is, or is not, available. The main areas of debate
are:

Is it right for a Council to rely on housing target figures which were set some years
ago or based on figures first derived from the Regional Spatial Strategy which has
now been revoked?
Planning Policy & Built Heritage Working Party

19 May 2014
The housing target for North Norfolk is based on the adopted Core Strategy which
in turn sourced the housing target from the East of England Plan. It was adopted in
2008 and is based on evidence which has been subject to examination. The NPPF
requirements in relation to housing targets are that they should meet all objectively
assessed need and demand. Needs and demands for housing are assessed
through the preparation of Strategic Housing Market Assessments (SHMAs). The
Council has commissioned a SHMA which is programmed to be available in
Oct/Nov 2014. In the interim, and in the absence of any other evidence based
assessments, it is considered that the housing growth targets included within the
adopted Core Strategy provide the most appropriate basis for establishing five year
housing supply targets.

In what circumstances should a 20% buffer be added to these targets rather than a
5% buffer?
In addition to providing a five year supply of land the NPPF requires the addition of
a buffer. The purpose of the buffer is to extend choice and competition in the
market. The NPPF suggests that this buffer should comprise sites ‘moved forward
from later in the plan period’ but does not explain what this actual means. It also
requires that where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing
(again this is not defined) the buffer should be increased to 20%, again moved
forward from later in the plan period.
Although the NPPF is unclear in its terminology it is clear in terms of intent, namely
that the absence of deliverable housing sites should not be allowed in hinder
housing delivery to the extent that targets cannot be met. Equally government has
made clear that it does not expect local authorities to address shortages of land if
there is evidence that land is being banked by developers. There is no significant
evidence of land banking in North Norfolk; where planning permissions have been
granted development has tended to commence shortly thereafter and the
introduction of the Housing Incentive Scheme has brought forward both applications
and commencement of development.
Assessed on the basis of historical completion records it might be argued that the
Council has persistently under delivered against housing targets and the size of the
current deficit is now substantial at around 750 dwellings. However it is also notable
that most of this deficit has accrued since 2008 when house completions nationally
fell to historically low levels as a consequence of recession. It is not considered that
there is any lack of suitable sites or choice of sites in North Norfolk and given this
there are no grounds to add a 20% buffer to housing targets.

Are assessments of the rate of future housing delivery accurate and supported by
evidence?
There are many factors which influence rates of future development and it is not
possible, or necessary, to be definitive in relation to how many houses might be
provided in the future. Land supply comprises those sites where there is a
reasonable prospect of development taking place. The Council undertakes detailed
assessments in relation to delivery rates on all of the larger development sites in the
district and the conclusions of these assessments are published as part of the
statement. These assessments include considerations such as ownership,
availability, site suitability, planning status, market conditions, stage of development
and the stated intentions of developers. Overall the assessment is considered to be
robust and evidence based.

6. CONCLUSION
The position in relation to land supply is improving, planning permissions have been
granted on a number of larger sites and development has commenced on most of
these. This year dwelling completions were only slightly short of the 400 dwelling
per year baseline requirement and were approximately 35% higher than last year.
Subject to market conditions remaining favourable this improving trend is expected
to continue in the short term.
Given the current situation the position in relation to land supply will need to be kept
under regular review. Although there is a five year supply, this is only marginal and
the position could change quickly, for example, if expected development rates were
to slow. Given this the Council may need to carefully consider any planning
applications which do not comprise part of the existing housing land supply,
including those where the grant of planning permission would represent a departure
from adopted policies and consider carefully the deliverability of such proposals.
Any proposals should continue to be considered in accordance with adopted
Development Plans having regard to the land supply situation at the time of
application and other material considerations.

April 2014
PART A: FIVE YEAR LAND SUPPLY
1.
Background
1.1
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) came into force in March 2012.
This seeks to ensure that the planning system delivers a flexible and responsive
supply of housing development land. It requires that Local Planning Authorities
identify sufficient specific deliverable1 sites to provide the next five years of the
planned housing provision as proposed in their Local Plan and that a five year
supply, together with a 5% buffer, is maintained over a fifteen year period.
Additionally, where there is evidence of persistent under-delivery of housing this
buffer should be increased to 20%.
1.2
This statement has been prepared following guidance from the Planning
Inspectorate and Department for Communities and Local Government:
Demonstrating a 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Sites (updated March 2010). It
sets out North Norfolk District Council’s housing land supply and identifies
specific sites which the Council considers are likely to contribute to the delivery
of the five years provision. They include sites already under construction but not
yet complete, those with planning permission but where building work has not yet
commenced, and sites that have potential under planning policies to come
forward for development within the next five years. In each case, only sites
where there is a reasonable prospect that additional dwellings will be provided
within the five year period are included in the supply. Hence whilst there is
currently planning permission for approx. 1,715 dwellings in the District, this
statement concludes that a significant proportion of these may not be built in the
next five years. Equally there are sites which do not yet have planning
permission but are nevertheless judged as likely to deliver housing in the near
future.
1.3
This statement includes a Housing Trajectory (Part B and Appendix 3) illustrating
development rates since 2001 and looking forwards to 2026.
2.
Methodology
2.1
Local Development Documents set out the policies and strategies for delivering
the level of housing provision, including identifying broad locations and specific
sites that will enable continuous delivery of housing. Sufficient deliverable sites
should be identified to deliver housing in the first five years, with a further supply
of specific, developable sites for years 6-10 and, where possible, for years 11-
1
To be considered deliverable sites should be available now, they should be suitable for development now and there
should be a realistic prospect of the site actually delivering dwellings in the next five years.
1
13
15. Many of these sites are identified in the North Norfolk Site Allocations
Development Plan adopted by the Council in 2011.
2.2
Guidance2 outlines four stages in the process of determining supply:
• STAGE 1 - Identifying the five year period;
• STAGE 2 - Identify the scale of housing provision to be delivered;
• STAGE 3 - Identify sites with potential to deliver housing in the 5 year
period; and
• STAGE 4 - Assessing deliverability
2.3
For sites to be considered deliverable, the NNPF states they should be:
• Available - the site is available now;
• Suitable - the site offers a suitable location for development now; and
• Achievable - there is a reasonable prospect that housing will be delivered
on the site within the specified five year period.
2.4
In determining land supply an allowance for windfalls (unidentified and
unexpected developments) can be included provided robust evidence is
available that such developments are likely to continue to contribute to supply in
future years.
3.
Stage 1: The Five Year Period
3.1
The five year period covered by this statement is 1st April 2014 to the 31st March
2019.
4.
Stage 2: North Norfolk Five Year Housing Requirement
4.1
The number of dwellings which constitute a five year supply is derived from the
quantity of housing growth in the District proposed in the adopted North Norfolk
Core Strategy over the twenty year period which commenced in April 2001. This
Plan requires that at least 8,000 dwellings are built in North Norfolk over the
period 2001- 2021. To meet this requirement, an average of at least 400
dwellings need to be built in each of the 20 years if the requirement is to be met
(400dwgs x 20yrs = 8,000dwgs).
4.2
During the first 13 years of the plan to April 2014, dwelling completion rates in
North Norfolk have been below this annual average requirement on a number of
occasions particularly between 2007 -2014, hence completion rates will need to
increase in the next five years and over the remainder of the plan period if the
minimum 8,000 dwelling target is to be met. The District Council expects this to
happen from now, with the progression of larger development sites which have
been allocated in the Site Allocations Development Plan document (adopted
February 2011). Many of these sites now have planning permission and are now
being developed.
4.3
As of the 1 April 2014, a total of 4,427 dwellings had been provided in the District
(an average of 340 per annum). In order to meet the 8,000 dwelling requirement
2
Department of Communities and Local Government – Demonstrating a five year land supply
2
14
an additional 3,573 will need to be built in the last seven years of the plan period
from 2014 to 2021. This equates to an average of 511 in each year or 2,555
dwellings over the five year period. In accordance with the NPPF and as a
measure to extend the choice of sites available, the Council has added an
additional buffer equal to a further 5% supply. This increases the target over the
five year period to 2,873, or 575 (rounded up) per year. Increasing the annual
average requirement in this way will ensure that the shortfall in dwellings that has
built up in recent years will be eliminated at the end of the five year period.
4.4
This target of 2,873 dwellings over a five year period is challenging but realistic,
and to maximise the likelihood of the target being met the Council has introduced
a Housing Incentives Scheme aimed at improving the viability of residential
development. Details of the scheme are available on the Council’s website.
Nevertheless delivering this number of dwellings on a consistent basis over the
next five years will depend on development of many of the larger site allocations
and favourable market conditions. The Council will keep the land supply position
under regular review.

STAGES 3 and 4: Five Year Deliverable Housing Supply
5.1
The North Norfolk Core Strategy (incorporating Development Control policies)
was adopted in September 2008 and identifies strategic locations for housing
growth in the District. It provides greater certainty, particularly with regard to
designations on the Proposals Map, and allows for the granting of planning
permissions in locations which are consistent with Core Strategy policies.
5.2
In 2007 the Core Strategy estimated that some 2,056 net dwelling completions
would take place in the District between 2007-2011. This figure was based on an
expectation, at that time, that around 600 dwellings would be built on newly
allocated development sites by 2011 and that windfall developments would
continue to provide new dwellings, albeit at a reduced rate than had historically
been the case. In practice, few of the allocated sites have produced dwellings
resulting in some 1,403 completions over this period rather than the 2,056
predicted in the Core Strategy.
5.3
The Council has published a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
(June 2009 and 2010 update) which identified sites in the District with potential to
provide housing. These sites could in theory accommodate in excess of 15,000
dwellings and in excess of 3,500 of these dwellings could in theory be built within
the next five years. However much of this capacity can only be delivered if the
site is allocated for development in a Development Plan document and/or
secures planning permission.
5.4
The schedule of housing sites in Appendix 1 provides details of sites that could
make up the 5 year supply of deliverable sites. The schedule includes sites
which already have planning permission, are under construction but not yet
recorded as complete, other sites where there is a reasonable expectation that
development will occur in the next five years in accordance with development
plan policies, and allocated sites contained within the Site Allocations
Development Plan Document. The schedule also includes small scale
developments (less than 10 dwellings) with a 10% lapse rate applied to take
account of the fact that some of the sites will not come forward.
5.5
Sites which are not considered to be available now, suitable or achievable are
not included in the supply. This has been assessed as follows:
•
•
Available - the land owner has indicated the site is available, the site is for
sale, or is known to be owned by a developer/owner who is able to develop.
The site is unconstrained.
Suitable - site has planning permission or is in a location where planning
policies would allow development and there is a realistic prospect of
permission being granted.
4
16
•
Achievable - judgement on the prospects of the site being developed within
the next five years based on historical trends, discussions with
owners/developers and consultation with infrastructure/service providers.
5.6
Notwithstanding recent improvements in the housing market the Council has
discounted the number of dwellings which may occur during the next five years
to take account of the recent downturn in the housing market. Hence a number
of the sites that have planning permission and are not subject to any known
constraints are nevertheless recorded as not providing completions within the
next five year period.
6.
Monitoring the Five Year Supply
6.1
The Council will monitor the five year supply of deliverable sites on an annual
basis. This statement will be updated regularly to take account of any significant
changes. New planning permissions and completions are recorded on a
continuous basis. Dwelling completions are recorded annually with the results
published in the Housing Land Availability Statement published in April/May each
year.

PART B: HOUSING TRAJECTORY
7.
Introduction
7.1
Annual recording of dwelling commencements, dwellings under construction,
dwelling completions, new planning permissions granted, and assessment of
what developments may occur in the coming years is an essential part of the
plan, monitor, manage approach to housing delivery. A Housing Trajectory is
produced annually by the Planning Authority to illustrate past and likely future
trends in housing provision having regard to land availability and historical/future
patterns of development.
7.2
This paper outlines the methodology used in producing the trajectory and
includes a trajectory for North Norfolk covering the period 2001 to 2026. It
identifies the quantity of planned housing development over this period, how
much of this has been built and what remains to be provided. It draws together
existing published sources of information on site suitability, availability and
achievability, and makes an assessment of when development may occur in the
future.
7.3
It should be recognised at the outset that there are a wide range of influences on
the housing market and consequently predictions about the levels of future
provision are susceptible to change. Nevertheless, if a robust and cautious
approach is taken and the trajectory is subject to regular review, some broad
conclusions can be reached about levels of future housing supply in the District
over the medium to long term. The Housing Trajectory included in this statement
adopts such a ‘cautious’ approach and reflects the current position in relation to
the local housing market, namely that despite there being a supply of suitable
and available land, build rates remain below historical and required averages.
8.
Information Sources
8.1
Housing related data is monitored annually by the Planning Authority for the
period commencing the 1st of April and ending on the 31st of March each year.
Data is published as follows:
8.2
Housing Land Availability Statements (HLA) – these have been published by the
Council each year since 1993 and provide a summary of the number of dwellings
completed, under construction, and with planning permission in each Parish of
the District.
8.3
Five Year Housing Land Supply Statements – these have been published by the
Council every year since 2007 and relate to the amount of housing that has been
provided and is expected to be provided over the next 5 years, with the minimum
levels of planned growth identified in the adopted Core Strategy. In addition to
dwelling completions and planning permissions these statements also include an
assessment of when identified development sites will be built. In the absence of
a five year supply of development sites intervention may be required via the
allocation of new deliverable development sites in development plan documents
or the grant of additional planning permissions on unallocated sites.
6
18
8.4
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessments – first published in 2009 and
updated in 2010, these studies look at the capacity of the district to
accommodate housing growth. Studies identify all reasonable potential sources
of dwelling completions in the district and make an assessment of the suitability
of sites, their availability, and when development could be delivered in the event
of such sites being released for housing. Whilst these studies identify a large
amount of theoretical capacity they are not policy documents and do not reach
any conclusions in relation to whether this capacity should be made available for
development through allocation in a development plan document or by the grant
of planning permission.
8.5
Whilst the trajectory is prepared by the District Council it is the result of
consultation with landowners, developers, Housing Associations and others with
an interest in housing development in North Norfolk. The Strategic Housing Land
Availability Assessment in particular is primarily derived from information
supplied by public and private sector housing providers.
9.
Need & Demand
9.1
The evidence3 indicates that there are high levels of both demand and need for
additional housing in the district. The need for additional affordable housing is
particularly acute due in large part to higher than national average house prices
and lower than average incomes. Studies have suggested that if existing and
arising affordable housing needs are to be addressed around 900 affordable
dwellings per year would be required over a sustained period. Similarly, over the
medium to long term the demand locally for market housing has been strong,
fuelled in part by high levels of in-migration.
9.2
The recent slow down in both the local and national economy has had a
significant impact on the local new build housing sector. Both dwelling
completions and dwelling commencements have declined and have only in the
last year shown signs of significant improvement.
10.
The Local Supply of Housing Development Land
10.1
For a number of years the Council has applied land use policies that have
constrained the opportunities for new residential development. This approach
arose as a result of relatively high levels of new house building in the 1980s and
early 1990s and a concern that if such trends were allowed to continue dwelling
completions in the district would exceed the requirement of the then adopted
Structure Plan. Consequently, the North Norfolk Local Plan, adopted in 1998,
made no new housing land allocations and included policies that constrained the
opportunities for new dwelling completions to locations within the boundaries
(infill development) of approximately 80 defined settlements. Despite this policy
of development constraint an average of 346 dwellings were built each year over
this period. Most of this (in excess of 75%) occurred within the 24 settlements
which have now been selected for further growth in the adopted Core Strategy.

10.2
Average annual dwelling completion rates in the District have declined in the last
ten years. Large releases of dwellings at the former airbases at Coltishall and
West Raynham produced high ‘completion’ rates in 2008 and 2010, but without
these one off windfall sites, dwelling completions are now significantly below the
10 year average. Whilst the current economic climate has played a significant
part in recent reductions, the absence of larger scale housing land allocations
has undoubtedly limited opportunities in recent years. The Council considers that
both land supply and market factors have influenced the reduction in dwelling
completion numbers in the district in recent years.
10.3
Hence, in addition to the allocation of land for development in the Site Allocations
Development Plan, it will also be necessary to see a general improvement in the
housing market if planned levels of growth in the district are to be achieved. As
outlined elsewhere in this statement the Council has introduced a temporary
Housing Incentive Scheme which includes a range of measures designed to
improve development viability and encourage the quicker delivery of
development.
12.
The Housing Trajectory 2001-2026
12.1
The housing trajectory illustrates in graphical form the quantity of housing
development in the district since 2001, the predicted future levels up to 2021 and
for a further period (5 years) beyond 2021, and compares this to the planned
levels of housing growth over this period.
12.2
Four separate sources of dwellings are modelled:
Dwellings which have been provided
12.3
Dwelling completion rates are recorded annually and published in Housing Land
Availability (HLA) reports. Completions are monitored via Building Regulation
completion records and site visits. A dwelling is recorded as complete when it is
substantially completed and available for occupancy. Completions include new
build dwellings, sub-divisions, conversions and changes of use, and are
expressed as net additions to the housing stock (i.e. taking account of any
housing loss). Dwellings and other types of accommodation which are subject to
holiday occupancy restrictions are not counted as net additions. Only selfcontained dwelling units are included, along with houses in multiple occupation
(hostels etc) and residential institutions such as care and nursing homes (these
were not previously recorded as dwellings but following the publication of the
National Planning Policy Guidance, nursing and care homes will be included in
future totals).
The permitted supply
12.4
This comprises of sites which already have planning permission. Dwelling
numbers in this category will include dwellings with planning permission which
have not been started and those which are under construction but are not yet
recorded as completions. The Authority calculates that approx. 10% (lapse rate)
of all dwellings permitted will never be built and this is deducted from the figures.
8
20
12.5
There are a number of sites in the district that have enjoyed planning permission
for many years, where commencement of development has been recorded but
where dwelling completions have either stopped or the site only delivers a small
number of dwellings each year. The Five Year Land Supply Statement reaches
conclusions about the likely dwelling delivery rates on sites with planning
permission. Overall it concludes that whilst there is already planning permission
for approximately 1,790 dwellings (before lapse rate is applied) which have yet to
be built it is likely that only 1,545 of these will be built over the five year period
from 2014 to 2019.
12.6
The trajectory includes those dwellings in this category identified in the Five Year
Land Supply as likely to be built over this five year period. For the purposes of
producing a trajectory the total dwellings on small sites (less than 10) in this
source are divided equally into five annual amounts and shown as being built at
an equal rate over the five year period (2014-19). For larger sites (more than 10),
a prediction has been made as to when development is likely to occur between
the current year and 2026. In practice precise delivery rates will vary year on
year.
Supply arising from the proposed allocations in the Site Specific Proposals
Development Plan
12.8
Since April 2011 the allocated sites have been included in future housing supply.
The rate at which these will start to deliver dwellings is based on the evidence in
the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment and takes into account a
wide range of information including site ownership, registered interests from the
development industry, stated intentions of developers, time taken to secure
planning permission, any specific site constraints that are likely to impact on
delivery times and the current economic climate. The Council considers that it is
unlikely that many of these sites will deliver new dwellings in the first few years of
the period, notwithstanding that many developers indicate otherwise, and this is
reflected in the trajectory.
Supply arising from expected development (identified and unidentified)
12.9
It is not practical or possible to identify all sources of future housing development
on a site by site basis. For example, the SHLAA and Site Allocations DPD focus
on larger sites (mainly those that can accommodate 10 or more dwellings in
towns and three or more in villages). Future housing supply in the district will
comprise of developments on a mixture of both identified and unidentified sites.
In the past these unidentified sites have been the sole constituent of housing
development in the district and have yielded an average of 346 dwellings per
year.
12.10 The adopted Core Strategy predicts that unidentified sites will continue to
contribute about 250 dwellings per year to the total housing supply. As this
assumption was made on the basis of looking backwards at historical trends over
a relatively long period (10 years) it might be argued that the figures attributed to
this source in the Core Strategy are too high. This is because they do not reflect
the more recent significant downturn in dwelling completions. To ensure that the
trajectory adopts a cautious approach to housing delivery the Council has further
reduced likely dwelling completions in this category by assuming that future
completions will not exceed the lowest figures achieved in recent years and will
9
21
diminish year on year thereafter throughout the plan period. The net result over
the entire period covered by this trajectory is that rather than 2,514 (Core
Strategy prediction) dwellings being derived from this category, it is considered
more likely that this figure will not exceed 1,850 dwellings.
12.12 These four sources are shown in different colours on the graph. The table in
Appendix 3 provides dwelling numbers for each constituent part of the supply.
Information on individual sites is published in the source evidence documents
referred to in Section 8. Expected dwelling delivery rates on the proposed
housing allocation sites are modelled in Appendix 2.
12.13 In producing this Trajectory the following assumptions have been made.
1. There will be some improvement in the housing market for the next two
years.
2. On the larger development sites (proposed allocations) a period of
two/three years from the date of a planning application to dwelling
completions should be expected unless there are specific circumstances
to suggest otherwise.
3. That allocated development sites cannot be developed until specifically
identified constraints have been addressed.
4. That around 10% of planning permissions granted will never be built.
5. That larger development sites are unlikely to deliver more than 25-30
dwellings per year if developed by a single developer unless there is
evidence that would suggest otherwise.
13.

built

*1,049 left to be built on large sites and 666 left on smaller sites (less than 10 with -10% lapse rate applied).
**Does not include potential dwellings within mixed-use schemes such as Retail Opportunity Sites and is hence lower than the
actual number proposed in the Site Allocations DPD. Also does not include allocations with permission to avoid double
counting.
***Original figure of 1,850 devised for 2009/10 onwards, therefore figure for 2013/14 statement reduced accordingly (to 930,
plus additional expected windfall over the next 5 years, which is 70 per year and therefore 350 over 5 years).
13.2
Since 2001 some 4,427 dwellings have been built in the District. Based on the
annual average requirement of 400 dwellings per year this is some 773 dwellings
behind the requirement at this point in the plan period. Dwelling completions in
the District are therefore 1.9 years behind the required rate. This is unsurprising
at this point in the plan cycle given that land allocations are yet to deliver
significant development and market factors have slowed delivery.
13.3
Since 2012/13, the supply of potential development sites has been
supplemented by the allocated sites in the Site Allocations Development Plan
10
22
Document and, contingent on continued improvement in the housing market,
dwelling completion rates are predicted to increase. By 2015/16, and in the years
thereafter, dwelling completions are expected to reach and exceed the original
annual average requirement of 400 dwellings. The Site Allocations Development
Plan Document contains a number of housing sites which together provide for
approximately 3,138 dwellings (not including mixed-use schemes). Of these, 721
have been granted planning permission (of which 131 have been completed). Of
the total number of allocated dwellings left, 1,552 are expected to be delivered
by 2021 (those already with permission are not included in this figure to avoid
double counting). This is towards the upper end of the range specified in Core
Strategy Policy SS3. This quantity of development on allocated sites when
added to the dwellings already built since 2001 (4,427 units), and those with
planning permission which are likely to be built (1,708 units – up to 2021), along
with dwellings on unidentified sites (670 – up to 2021), would result in sites being
available and suitable for the provision of 8,357 dwellings in the district by 2021.
13.4
In addition to permissions and allocations the Authority considers that
unidentified, but expected, developments will continue to contribute to housing
supply both within the remainder of the Core Strategy/RSS plan period up to
2021 and for the 15 year period up to 2026. The trajectory indicates that some
elements of the proposed allocations are unlikely to be completed by 2021 and
therefore dwellings on these sites will contribute towards housing supply in the
period 2021-2026.
13.5
The Trajectory illustrates that:
•
•
•
A five year supply of sites is available.
Dwelling completions are predicted to meet the 8,000 dwelling
requirement of the East of England Plan by 2021;
Continuation of development rates in the period beyond 2021 is likely to
result in some 9,711 dwellings being built in the District over the period
2001- 2026.

Note: Appendix 2, based on information from the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment concludes that some of the smaller sites in villages will yield
dwellings over the next five years. However unless the Council is aware of specific interest it is assumed for the purposes of demonstrating a five year supply that
these sites will not produce dwellings in the first 5 year period.
