<p>The National Planning Policy Framework requires local planning authorities to plan
to meet the objectively assessed housing needs of their area.</p><p>Where an authority
is unable to meet its need locally, it is expected to work with neighbouring authorities
through the duty to co-operate to determine whether the unmet need can be met across
the wider area.</p><p>Bolton’s current Local Plan, adopted in March 2011, sets an
average annual housing target of 694 dwellings per annum. Wigan’s existing Local Plan,
adopted in September 2013, has an average annual housing target of 1,000 dwellings
per annum.</p><p>The Department publishes information on the number of net new dwellings
developed in each local authority every year. This may be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-net-supply-of-housing"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-net-supply-of-housing</a>
(table 122). This table shows that the number of net additions for Bolton and Wigan
for 2015/16 were 510 and 640 respectively.</p><p>A table setting out existing Local
Plan targets, where known, and their delivery in 2015/16 for authorities in North
West England is set out below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Local authority</p></td><td><p>2015/16
