Representation ID: 10443

Respondent: Mr & Mrs Michael & Marion Joyce

Support proposed housing distribution, review of green belt boundaries and reassessment of washed over green belt settlements. Object to lack of justification/agreement for scale of contribution to wider HMA shortfall. Insufficient deliverable residential site allocations identified which comply with site selection criteria and national policy recommendations. Plan should be future proofed by allocating land for more houses than recommended by standard methodology, recognising it is a minimum starting point and need to boost house building. More small and medium sized viable sites need to be allocated.
Housing Delivery Test misleading given lack of objectively assessed need in SLP2013 and DLP requirement. Requires 20% buffer and/or Action Plan.
Despite use of Standard Methodology based on 2014 household projections, there is still no signed Statement of Common Ground, contrary to NPPF.
On behalf of our Client Mrs M Joyce, we now formally submit on her behalf representations in connection with the Draft Solihull Local Plan Review Supplementary Consultation.
The key question raised in the DSLPRSC is Question 39, which offers
an opportunity for our client to confirm she wishes her site to be included and the
reasons for that. In addition, this representation also addresses the following
questions: 2, 7, 14, 15, 17, 18, 23, 27, 28, 32, 33, 34, 39 and 44.
