Housing Growth Estimate 2015-2030
The Council estimates 9,750 new housing units will be required from 2015 to 2030 across the Borough. This is neither a target to be met nor a cap, as housing growth estimation involves judgement.
The Council estimates that 9,750 new housing units will be required for the period 2015 to 2030 across the Borough. It is however important to understand that this figure is neither a target to be met, nor a cap which cannot be exceeded. Furthermore, the estimation of future housing growth is not an exact science and a degree of judgement is therefore considered essential in identifying an appropriate level of housing growth over the Plan period.
