| | SHBA LIMITED v. (FIRST) ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL AND (SECOND) ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL, 10 April 2002, Lord Wheatley |
 | | The forecasts referred to are contained in the Structure Plan Area Forecasts Main Report for Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils 1998 to 2016, and the associated Structure Plan Area Forecasts Technical Report, both of which were published in the autumn of 1999, and were referred to in the appeal as the 1999 forecasts. |
 | | The Joint Councils clearly concluded that the contents of the 2001 forecasts were not relevant to the approval of the Structure Plan, and in particular were not relevant to the implementation of Policy 8. |
 | | In specific terms the Joint Councils considered that these figures were relevant for the purposes of reviewing and revising the housing forecasts, a process which was going to be required in any event for the periods from 2005-2010, and 2010-2015 in terms of Policies 9 and 10. |
