<p>The Government does not set housing allocation numbers. The Government’s Local
Housing Need formula, otherwise known as “the standard method” is set out in guidance
and is used by local authorities to determine the starting point when planning for
housing. Local planning authorities should take into account land supply considerations
and environmental constraints (such as Green Belt) before determining the number of
homes likely to be delivered in the area.</p><p>The standard method is based on the
2014 household projections, these projections incorporate population projections and
therefore migration data. Population data is published by the ONS, see attached: <a
