Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
Representation ID: 8515
Received: 19/05/2021
Respondent: Green Party
This change is based on ONS 2016, which is now 5 years out of date and not the latest forecast available, which is ONS 2018 - https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationprojections/bulletins/subnationalpopulationprojectionsforengland/2018based
ONS 2018 states that the forecast population growth is 3330 between 2018 and 2028. This is a third of the forecast quoted - a substantial change. This revision of lower population growth is substantial and has a material impact on many other concerns, so must be taken into consideration.
