Planning � The Current Local Plan is out date. � A new Local Plan is being drawn up, with the south west of Boston being identified as the preferred location for future development in the town � Lack of 5 year land supply � In the emerging Local Plan, there is an identified need for 4520 new homes up to 2031 � The 4520 projections are based normal historic trends, and do not allow for significant growth in the area. ie it meets local housing needs � This development would go towards meeting the current lack of supply, and the numbers required under the emerging Local Plan
