Yes, a scenario that takes account of BREXIT, including weaker sterling levels, should be assessed. We note that paragraph 5.38 of the SHMA states that a 10 year scenario was ruled out because of the low levels of international migration following the recession. However, this type of scenario is far more likely given BREXIT and the much weaker pound, which have slashed the attractiveness of the UK to EU workers. Growth should go where it is sustainable. The Local Plan growth agenda is unsustainable. A clear and unequivocal determination of wider infrastructure needs, and funding to meet them, is needed.
