Representation Summary:

The 2011 census shows Warick population rising by 8% since the 2001 census. The rate of growth is approx 0.8% per annum which means that by 2029 the population will be increased by about 19,800. At an average dwelling occupation of 2.38 people per house (source Warwick Observatory) about 8300 homes will be needed by 2030. This is an annual requirement of about 450 homes per year. It is my opinion that your figures over represent the need for housing.
