Because the Plan assumes substantial continuing in-migration, there is already in effect significant provision for meeting needs originating elsewhere. However Policy DS20 of the Plan is ominous because it envisages even higher housing provision than is currently proposed. It is fundamentally wrong to act simply as a repository for housing development not wanted elsewhere in order to fuel the Council's growth aspirations.
The revised ONS figures for households in Coventry (issued in May 2014) have significant methodological faults. The claimed requirements for the City Council area are not reliable and should not be given weight.
