Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53865

Received: 28/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Helen Clark

Representation Summary:

I understand that the Interim Level of Growth figure of 12,300 is based on ONS data. However, I am concerned that at this late stage of the process my understanding is that the figure is being challenged by a group of Parish Councils, and that it is also stated that the figure "may be revised pending the findings of the Joint SHMA and the resulting co-operation between the authorities". I would have more confidence in the figure if there were not these uncertainties. Of particular concern is whether the figure is likely to increase following the Joint SHMA.
