What this means for a landowner
The plan stage tells you whether allocation is still realistically available. Early stages — evidence gathering and Regulation 18 — are when sites are selected, so a Call for Sites submission has the greatest effect. Once a plan reaches Regulation 19 or examination, the practical routes narrow to soundness representations, the next plan review, or an application relying on the authority's land supply position.
The housing figures matter for the same reason. An authority that cannot demonstrate a five-year supply, or that falls below the Housing Delivery Test thresholds, applies the presumption in favour of sustainable development differently — which is what practitioners mean by the tilted balance.
