Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 11112

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Rainier Developments Limited

Agent: Marrons Planning

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The employment uplift on the Local Housing Need, to take account of the job growth at UK Central, is based on the assumption that only 25% of the jobs will be filled by people residing in Solihull. The Plan is not sound on the basis of accepting such high levels of inward commuting.

Change suggested by respondent:

The housing requirement should be increased to take account of the employment uplift, particularly in the absence of any evidence that neighbouring areas are intending to accommodate higher housing numbers as a consequence.
