Representation Summary:

Policy P5 is unsound in respect of the housing requirement identified.

It is imperative that sufficient homes are provided to support the envisaged economic growth. The HEDNA should test an addition UK Central Hub growth scenario (22,998 jobs) to determine how many homes might be required in Solihull if all jobs are filled by residents of Solihull.

We consider that there is a need for between 16,570 and 19,975 dwellings (2020-2036). A reasonable mid-point suggests that 18,500 dwellings should be provided to deliver the envisaged jobs growth at UK Central Hub.

Change suggested by respondent:

The housing requirement should be increased to a minimum of 18,500 dwellings to reflect the outcomes of additional, realistic economic uplift scenarios to meet the envisaged jobs growth at UK Central Hub.
