And if you go into those figures you will find that the most densely overpopulated ares are those where the jobs are concentrated - in the South East - nothing to do with emigration - everything to do with deliberate Government policy of centring Britain's wealth around the capital and keeping the provinces impoverished - Thatcher's North/South divide.
In order to divert from this, rags like the Telegraph, Mail and Express blame immigration on the situation, even the civil servants responsible for monitoring population affairs recognise the valuable contribution made by immigrants.
As I pointed out, your Telegraph article blames immigration, yet the link it gives to the source of its information does not mention the subject.
