Hertfordshire housing need 2020 – 2036

26th October 2020

CPRE Hertfordshire is publishing the result of a careful analysis of the latest household projections from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

This reveals a dramatic reduction (60%) in future housing need for the County. The comparison between the current method of deriving housing numbers from ONS 2014 based projections and ONS 2018 based projections shows the overall annual housing need in Hertfordshire falls from 8,025 to 3,233.

The report shows the impacts across the County and for each individual district in Hertfordshire.

CPRE Hertfordshire is urging its members and local campaigners to request that planning authorities use the up to date 2018 based ONS figures.
