Vulnerability of housing supply:
Trajectory:
- SMBC are seeking to provide a stepped trajectory as some of the larger sites will not make a significant contribution to completions until the mid-delivery phase.
- We refer you to Guildford Local Plan Inspector’s report, which concludes the Liverpool method does not meet the Government’s objective to boost housing supply in the shorter term.
- Consider Solihull should follow same approach as Guildford and allocate more sites.
- As with withdrawn Uttlesford Local Plan, a stepped trajectory may create a fragile 5 year land supply.
- Stepped trajectory may worsen the affordability problem as it delays delivery.
Amend housing supply and strategy
Allocation of additional sites to ensure housing need is met (including suitable provision for wider HMA needs) and an annualised trajectory is possible
