  NB As indicated by URPI in the Information Brief, the 1981-1992 trend is dominated by the high growth of the 1980’s and produces 1992 projections in excess of actual 1992 expenditure; as a result URPI did not consider it could be used for realistic future planning. Consequently the 1963-1992 trend (which gives the ‘best fit’) and the 1976-1992 trend (which should be treated with caution) have been used to provide the basis for future floorspace requirements within the City.
