o SMBC not include HMA shortfall post 2031
o Not consider additional shortfall arising from Black Country Plan review
o Post 2031 unmet need calculated to be a minimum of 17,700 dwellings between 2031 and 2040.
o Should include review policy or trigger to address additional shortfall once tested.
o Limited additional housing requirement arising from UKC Hub Area is at odds with Borough’s ambitious Vision for UK Central Hub Area
