The National Planning Policy Framework expects councils to identify their objectively assessed need for housing and other uses. The new Framework, published in July, expects a standard method to be used for assessing housing need, which is based on national projections of population and household growth. The population projections take into account anticipated changes in net migration based on past trends.<\/p>
