The survey found that only around half of councils feel they can demonstrate a five-year housing land supply as required. While some regions had higher percentages that could demonstrate supply, the results varied significantly between regions. Those without a supply figure were taking steps like completing strategic housing market assessments and land availability assessments or revising relevant plans and policies. The vast majority of councils without a supply indicated interest in guidance on calculating, monitoring, and updating supply figures. Common requests included a uniform methodology, guidance on case law, lobbying efforts, and sharing of best practices.
Remittance: 46% Of Tech Professionals Send Money To Their FamiliesTeamBlind
One remarkable sign of the racial inequities plaguing the United States: The wage gap between black and white men is as large today as it was in 1950. On Blind, an anonymous professional network with 3.6+MM verified users, we wanted to gauge the financial obligations of tech professionals, across racial lines.
We did a questionnaire on our class to determine when and where they listen to radio, what station they listen to and if it correlates to any gender or age.

3. 1. Overview
• PAS usually do a survey each year. It’s
usually used to review / inform our work
programme
• Through March and April 2014 we asked
councils about their housing land supply
• Can you demonstrate 5 yrs ?
• If not, what are you doing ?
• If yes, how are you monitoring it ?
4. 1. Overview
• It matters because of para 49 of the NPPF
“Relevant policies for the supply of housing
should not be considered up-to-date if the local
planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-
year supply of deliverable housing sites.”
• This is a point being argued at application
appeals.
5. 86% of councils took part
• Only 2 authorities actively declined
• 38 no answer / away / busy
region no yes Grand Total % yes
E. England 7 48 55 87%

7. “Do you have a land supply ?”
• “Yes”
– Although some mentioned being worried
• “No”
– Mostly working on it
• “Don’t know”
– Includes work on out of date figures / method / absorbing
the implications of national & local decisions / awaiting
inspectorate decision
• “Imminently”
– Following plan publication etc
• “Irrelevant”
– : national parks believe they don’t need one
8. What are you doing to establish a
supply figure ?
• For the “no” and “don’t know” groups
• Lots of SHLAA
• Not much Duty.
No Yes as %

10. 3. What can we do ?
• Overwhelming need for
method / guidance
• “a uniform method for
calculating, monitoring
and updating”

11. 3.1 Method
• Liverpool vs Sedgefield
• Common methodology
– Backlogs, buffers, targets
– Shortfalls, plan periods, phasing
– Deliverability
– C2, windfalls,
• Consistency
– Councils, inspectors, developers
• Timing
12. 3.2 Case law, appeals, decisions
• Emerging case law and the NPPG
• The inspectorates approach
– “A central resource cataloguing appeal decisions
with regard to land supply so authorities can see
how inspectors are thinking”
• How to defend a position with regard to land
supply
13. 3.3 lobby
• “A new way of looking at housing”
• Government is making planning more
complicated (duty)
• The policy is delivering perverse results
• Needs a national, not just local, response
– Housing policy
– Investment in housebuilding
– Building rates (not land supply)
14. 3.4 Critical friend
• Mixed bag.
– Review SHLAA
– Talk to councillors
– Monitoring
– Time and weight
– Detailed and specific, not general training
15. 3.5 Best practise
• Similar to the requests made in 3.1 method –
the distinction is probably just a learning style
• Note some councils are offering their
experience
16. 4. Thoughts
• We asked a simple question, but this is not a
simple issue
– The regional results are strange. Is the North East
figure low because it is not a priority ?
• Only about half of councils feel “safe”
• A surprisingly high number don’t know
17. 4. Thoughts
• The comments make clear the range of
knowledge and comfort amongst planners
– A small minority understand the issue completely
– A large minority have not been able to keep up
and just don’t get “objectively assessed need”
– It may be a size / resource issue. 22% of districts
just don’t know, compared to 12% of Unitaries.
18. 4. Thoughts
• Overwhelming need is for a commonly
accepted method:
– Establishing requirement
– Evidence
• Deliverability. Viability.
– Monitoring and the market
• Some feel frustrated that the policy is badly
framed and won’t deliver houses in the best
places
