Representation Summary:

NHDC used the projections from 2014 to base the housing figures instead of the ONS 2016 projections. Therefore, NHDC have overestimated the housing need by 4000 dwellings. The housing figure should be lowered by 4000 which will prevent the need to build on the green belt within the smaller villages such as WY1 in Little Wymondley. Therefore, the modification is unsound.
