Analysis of housing market factors affecting delivery, including (but not limited to) lead-in times for strategic sites, market absorption capacity within each planning authority area and for the longer term within the cross-boundary Priority Growth Areas, market inter relationships from within the Leicester and Leicestershire Housing Market Area and from surrounding housing market areas; 5. Commentary on delivery considerations for strategic development area / strategic sites; 6. Clear conclusions at authority and Housing Market Area level about constraints and opportunities to housing delivery in relation to the spatial strategy proposed through the Leicester and Leicestershire Strategic Growth Plan; 7.
