Clearly, the homes being built in a new town should form part of the housing requirement of a relevant local planning authority. As a consequence, that local planning authority must accept that it should not rely simply on the standard method. Instead, there should be an addition to the standard method figure for that local planning authority to take account of the fact that it is contributing additional homes as part of a new towns programme. In each area, a complicated analysis is therefore required to assess how many of the new homes to be built should be added to a local planning authority’s standard method.
