The Objectively Assessed Housing Needs for Brentwood Report (2015) prepared by PBA, states that the OAN based on 2011 population projections. The 2012 population projections have since been published and although PBA state that these were likely to be similar to those published in 2011, it is noted that the Council has not updated this figure or published an assessment of the OAN following the publication of the 2012 household projections. It is therefore considered that the Council should set out the OAN based on the 2012 projections and without doing so, it cannot be considered appropriate for the Council to rely on the current figure, as it is not the most up to date needs figure.
