Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54018
Received: 28/07/2013
Respondent: Mrs Laura Teodorczyk
The 12,300 estimate is not fit for purpose to be used for the remainder of the Revised Development Strategy and proposed individual settlement housing targets over such a long period:
1. Paragraph 4.1.1 shows that the Joint SHMA with neighbouring authorities is at the very start of its process. This will have a significant bearing on overall figures.
2. Justification for the interim level of housing growth is flimsy as it is based on interim projections, contains historic data and is prone to significant sensitivity swings. Would 2011 Census data not be more suitable when available?
