    This chapter provides the context for growth across Kent and Medway to 2031. It gives 4. A PICTURE OF GROWTH IN an overview of the projected growth in population, employment and housing for Kent and Medway and explores the demographics and economics of that growth. In doing KENT AND MEDWAY so, it sets out key trends and projections that will affect the distribution of growth and planning to support infrastructure to 2031. In order to illustrate how Kent and Medway is changing in terms of population, demo- graphics and housing growth, the figures in this section represent the period 2011- 2031, unless stated otherwise. 4.1 POPULATION FORECASTS GIF POPULATION FORECAST The GIF uses the KCC Housing Led Forecast, produced by KCC Strategic Business Development & Intelligence, to establish a population forecast directly linked to (and constrained by) the planned housing identified for this framework. As districts are at various stages in the Local Plan process, housing trajectories can be volatile. The GIF forecast takes housing trajectories at a set point in time (September 2017) provided by Local Authorities to perform a consistent analysis of growth and need across the County. The GIF forecast shows a 2031 population of 2,127,600 – an increase of 396,300 from 2011, equivalent to 23% growth Houses in Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks DC Figure 4.1: Forecast population change 2011 to 2031 (Source: KCC GIF Forecast 2017) KENT COUNTY COUNCIL 23 Net international migration accounted for approximately The majority of people who move into Kent and Medway come a third of this net flow into Kent and Medway, and con- from London.

  • KCC ATF Eqia Scheme 3 V2 (002)
    KCC - Growth, Environment and Transport Directorate (GET). Equality Analysis / Impact Assessment (EqIA) Directorate Service: Name of decision, policy, procedure, project or service: Kent Active Travel Fund: A28 Birchington to Westgate Pathway of Equality Analysis: Summary and recommendations of equality analysis / impact assessment Kent County Council has ambitious targets for growth, and as a County Council we recognise that transport infrastructure and the environment are vital to creating sustainable developments and encourage people to live, work and play in Kent. The ability to travel quickly and safely to our destinations requires a transport network that provides a variety of travel choices that supports a growing population. As such, we have developed initial concept designs in five locations within Kent which seek to create a safer environment for both walking and cycling to offer a real choice to our residents about how they can travel throughout the County. We have received funding for the following five schemes, which are still very much in an early design stage: • Canterbury: Littlebourne Road - City Centre; • Folkestone: Central Rail Station – Cheriton; • Margate: Birchington – Westgate; • Folkestone: Hythe – Dymchurch; and • Gravesham: Gravesend – Northfleet. Date Document Updated 08/12/2020 1 This document is available in other formats. Please contact [email protected] or telephone on 03000 415 762 The schemes aim to encourage and enable active travel, which means walking or cycling as a means of transport in addition to leisure purposes – an attractive and realistic choice for short journeys. It can benefit health and wellbeing by incorporating physical activity into everyday routine as well as reduce the number of vehicles on the road and improve air quality.
