Where Planning Power Rests: House-building target imposed on Horsham District by Planning Inspector is dependent on untested and questionable presumptions and assumptions.
Article: Mid Sussex Times 15 January 2015 by Dr Roger Smith
Subject: house-building targets are decided – by Planning Inspectors, “unelected official, whose decisions cannot be challenged - and who cannot be held to account by councils and communities should his decisions prove to be flawed”.
“Since he does not explain how he has arrived at a number for the latter, one must conclude that the allocation is arbitrary.”
The Planning Inspector who examined the Horsham District Planning Framework (HDPF), has decided that a minimum of 750 new houses pa should be built in Horsham District in the period 2011-2031, amounting to at least 15,000 in total.
