Representation Summary:
ONS figures show the level of growth will slow down and on average will be 0.73%p.a. and 11% increase over 15 years - 16,000 people. For 10,800 houses that works out at less than 1.5 people per unit which seems low and is unjustifiable if you limit the age range to those likely to buy a property.
The actual requirement seems to be less than half that proposed.
There is already a surplus of housing with property available at Chase Meadow, Portobello and Leamington Station. Why is there a need for more in this context, particularly with the economic climate as it is?
