§
The managed release of housing sites should support the planning strategy set out in regional planning guidance and development plans. Phasing should not be arbitrary. It should secure the timely delivery of the agreed housing numbers set out in up-to-date regional planning guidance and:
reflect the policy objectives set out in PPG3;
reflect any strategic principles that have been established;
be based on realistic assumptions;
be deliverable and cost-effective;
be transparent, based on clear policies set out in the local plan and not an arbitrary process;
be dynamic, and capable of regular monitoring and review.
