Part of consortium which has instructed Barton Willmore to critique SHMA methodology:
No positive adjustment to address household suppression in younger households;
Not adequately addressed fact that housing has become absolutely less affordable over long-term;
Not adequately addressed balance between job growth and population growth;
Target should be increased to a minimum of 890-987 homes p.a., for OAN, 12.5% higher than currently provided for. Housing numbers exceeding 1,000 homes p.a. would be required to support UKC Hub scenario.
