This paragraph has been adjusted to give the population prediction for next ten years based on now outdated 2016 predictions. However, the plan, and housing numbers are for 20 years so it would be helpful to also identify the total population growth over the 20 years period by indicating the growth that has occurred up to 2021. Given that population growth predictions have been reviewed downwards in both ONS 2016 and 2018 population projections is it accurate to say there is ‘considerable’ pressure on housing, ‘moderate’ might be a better description.
