Respondent: Mr Raymond Bullen

Representation Summary:

The SHMA calculation for houses required is based on old informtion and estimates. If the correct data is used correctly, taking into account 2011 census result - population is 136,000 in 2011, based on ONS data for the last 10 years, then 254 homes/annum are required for the next 15 years, a total of 5336 including a 5% contingency. This is for the same projection1 in the plan, so the 10,800 homes is not correct.
