Representation Summary:
The level of growth is too high. Since the publication of this Draft new ONS projections show that population growth between 2011 and 2029 is 15,300 compared with the joint SHMA figure of 23,800.
This error is compounded by the Joint SHMA using a Household Headship Ratio of 1.66 people per dwelling. If the ratios and sizes of affordable and market homes are taken into account this ratio should be 2.12. If this is applied to the new population projection this gives a housing requirement of 7,700. If the ratio of 1.66 is used this gives a requirement of 9,300.
