Planning, population growth and housing in East Devon

How is the District Council planning its housing in the context of predictions for population growth?

Exeter is struggling:
Futures Forum: "Exeter faces a predicament. The population is growing and the provision of new housing isn't keeping up."

Meanwhile, East Devon continues to attract migrants:
Futures Forum: The impact of migration: "More people move to East Devon than nearly anywhere else in the UK"

And most of these migrants are not contributing to the economy:
Futures Forum: Brexit: and encouraging greater flows of migrants of working age into the country

Which means the population needs to be 'rebalanced':
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: and balanced communities

Here's the latest Freedom of Information Request sent to the District Council:


GROWTH IN POPULATION AND HOUSING
