Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 13789

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Summix (FHS) Developments Ltd

Agent: Framptons Planning

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The Council have not provided evidence of the unmet need expected to 2036. It is reasonable to assume that the unmet need to 2036 will be much higher than the 2,600 dwellings to 2031.

Solihull should be seeking to make a higher provision towards the Greater Birmingham Housing Market Area unmet need than the 2,105 currently proposed. Solihull should seek to accommodate at least 6,000 dwellings of the HMA shortfall.

Change suggested by respondent:

The Council should undertake further joint work with adjoining authorities to ensure the duty to co-operate is properly discharged. Evidence of joint working and an indication of how any shortfall in meeting objectively assessed housing needs will be met is required.

The amount of housing to be accommodated within the Borough needs to be increased to a figure significantly higher than the 15,017 for the period 2020-2036. It should accommodate at least 1,200 dwellings on Sustainable Urban Extensions removed from the Green Belt south of Tidbury Green.
