BP01: Growth Level Options Report
The Development Plans Manual states "The critical point is ensuring that both economic and housing growth are broadly aligned, accepting that there is no direct mathematical relationship. Both forecasts and the scale of growth should be aligned to support each other". The scale of growth proposed by the Preferred Strategy, far from supporting the Councils approach to the economy, appears likely to constrain such growth and increase pressure for unsustainable in-commuting contrary to the wording above.
Housing Mix - we do not agree that the mix of market housing on a site might be controlled.

Not accepted - the housing growth figure takes into account the increase in jobs - see Background Paper 1
