PPS 12 Housing in Settlements·Page 15·29
Allowance for Existing Commitments
Housing calculations must account for dwellings already built, existing approvals not yet constructed, and proposals with reasonable expectation of approval from 1st January 1999 onwards.
In order to complete the calculation of the amount of new housing required for the settlements within the plan area, it is necessary to take into account housing already constructed, existing housing approvals not yet constructed and housing where proposals have achieved a reasonable expectation of approval. This applies from the start of the period covered by the HGIs in the RDS (1st January 1999).
