§ Mr. RaynsfordWhen the new system is in place, we will expect the Regional Planning Conferences (RPCs) to report each year on a number of indicators, which are likely to include local housing needs. We will consult later this year on what the indicators should cover. If the RPC reports were to show serious shortfalls or other impacts, we would expect provision to be increased in the next revision of Regional Planning guidance, although an earlier review of Regional Planning Guidance could be undertaken if that were necessary.
