6 Why a Joint Local Plan? A more efficient use of resources, sharing skills and plan-making budgets A simpler and more cost-effective process with one examination in front of an inspector instead of three The area has a clear voice for engaging with regional bodies that guide funding decisions, such as Local Enterprise Partnerships

7 The Housing Market Area

8 What Timescale will it cover? The 20 year period from 2014 to 2034 This gives the most up to date baseline start in terms of population projections It provides the 15 year minimum time horizon from the time of adoption as required by government
