Respondent: Mr Greg Ball

I am agreement with the general distribution of growth but am concerned
• about the projections used to calculate housing need, and
• at the level of provision to meet ‘unmet need’ from the metropolitan area.

My concern is that the projections are out-dated and do not include improved methods made in more recent editions. They are insecure foundations for making extensive land allocations which, unlike the projections, are very hard to change. In addition, the long-term effects of COVID on population and the housing market are as yet unclear. A more modest housing requirement is needed.
