Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 52877

Received: 15/07/2013

Respondent: Mr K Craven

Representation Summary:

The level of housing growth is strongly linked to the growth in employment. Some forecasters are now saying that the country will not see significant growth until 2020. Therefore I suggest that forecasts should now be revisited and the figure of 12,300 new homes should be revised down accordingly. Point 3.5inthee Strategic Revision says that development should be distributed across the District. Map 1 clearly show this NOT to be the case with the burden [that's what it will be] falls on the south.
