Representation Summary:

Para 3.21 states "The district is forecast to see ... an increase in those aged 45-64 (21.7%)"
This appears to be inconsistent with the bar chart fig 7 at para 3.20 which shows a reduction in those aged 45-64 between 2011 and 2028.

Perhaps the para should read "...(and an increase in those aged 65 to 79 (21.7%)."

Proposed Submission Core Strategy

Representation Summary:

The population trends used are inconsistent. Paragraphs 3.20, 3.21 and Figure 7 indicate that the age groups 0-14, 15-29, 30-44 and 45-64 will decrease; whereas 65-79 and 75+ (there is a typo in figure 7) increase between 2011 and 2028. However, paragraph 14.36 indicates that the 0-14 age group will increase by 6.1% and the 15-29 age group by 4.1% between 2006 and 2026.

The use of population data should be consistent through the Core Strategy. If different data sets for population growth are used to support different policies it casts doubts on the robustness of the assumptions made.
