Paragraph: 57
Standard method formula not fit for purpose due to arbitrary urban uplift
Conclusion
The need for the urban uplift demonstrates that the standard method formula is not currently fit for purpose. The 35% urban uplift is an arbitrary figure, which is not calculated based on local housing need in the areas where it applies. We are disappointed that the Government has not yet published its evidence base for the urban uplift.
