There is however likely to be a positive socioeconomic impact, which has the potential to be significant upon the local economy and increase local employment. 15.10 References 1 ONS mid year population estimate based on the 2001 census – www.nomisweb.co.uk 2 Household and Dwelling Estimates in Scotland 2008 - http://www.clacksweb.org.uk/ document/2294.PDF 3 Clackmannanshire Mid-year Population Estimates 2008 - http://www.clacksweb.org.uk/ document/2184.pdf 4 http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/files2/stats/population-projections/2008-based-pop-projscottish-areas/08pop-proj-scottishareas-table1.xls November 2010 Chapter 15 Page 28 Copyright Partnerships for Renewables Development Co.
