Representation Summary:

Your estimated figure of 12,300 homes needed is far too high. Projections based only on natural growth of population and allowing for migration only 5,400 homes are required ( Ray Bullen paper July 2012 updated in 2013 using 2011 census data). Also Warwick DC's own consultants G.L.Hearn made an Economic and Demographic Forecast Study in December2012 and in their option PROJ 5 stated only 4,405 new homes are required.Even half your estimate is more than either of these projections!
