Providing new homes is important not only locally but nationally. It gives people a place to live for themselves and their families. It also helps support the local economy and can provide new infrastructure and open spaces for the local community. In the local area, our proposals will help the delivery of new homes to achieve the five-year supply of housing that the Council is required to have.
