Representation Summary:

Table at paragraph 225.
Sites with planning permission include sites refused/lapsed meaning 44 dwellings should be discounted. No evidence to show that sites identified in land availability assessments/Brownfield Land Register are deliverable or that these are not double counted with windfalls, so 277 dwellings should be discounted. Evidence for town centre sites not available. No evidence of testing of capacity of Chelmsley Wood town centre or that these are not double counted with windfalls, so 100 dwellings should be discounted. Carrying forward of SLP2013 sites not justified. No evidence to justify why a higher discount percentage than 10% not applied, or to support high reliance on windfalls. No evidence to show that UK Central capacity will be delivered in Plan period, as research into large complex sites indicates maximum of 800 dwellings. If addressed, total supply would be 12,361, 551 dwellings short of meeting local housing need and fail to meet 5 year housing supply

Change suggested by respondent:

Table at paragraph 225 should be re-assessed and additional allocations provided to meet local housing need, contribution to Housing Market Area shortfall and 5 year housing land supply
