Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has received any written representations from Hertsmere Borough Council on the requirement that the Council use 2014 ONS data, rather than 2017 ONS data, for calculating housing need using his Department’s standard method.

My Department has not received any correspondence directly from Hertsmere Borough Council in relation to the use of 2014 household projections within the Council’s calculation of their housing need.
