I do not dispute the need for increased availability of houses - particularly affordable houses for first time buyers, but I strongly believe that in the current and projected economic climate the estimate of the number needed is grossly inflated. The current rate of build and occupancy in the Warwick area is less than projected and the economic indicators are that this is not likely to increase in the imminent future. I also believe that the estimates for migration into the area are inflated since they are based on a historic temporary upwards trend, whereas the reality is that inward migration has reduced.
