A housing need of almost 13,000 homes, has not been justified, for the latest ONS projections demonstrate that the Draft local Plan is based upon projections within the JSHMA which are entirely suspect.

The population projection from ONS is 28.7% below the JSHMA and the apparent arbitrary figure of 1.661 persons per household is also incorrect, for household numbers have not reduced from the 2.294 household figures, in the 2011 census.

The District Council's determination to go for growth does not meet local needs, but seeks to maximise future financial advantage for the Council, no matter how important local green fields are to the local community.
