Positive that Council seeks to meet housing needs in full and contribute to wider HMA shortfall.
However, following elements of policy are unsound and would need amendment:
Part 1
• A buffer of 5-10% should be incorporated in order to meet the housing requirement and Greater Birmingham and Black Country Housing Market Area (GBBCHMA) contribution and not 5-year housing land supply. This is to ensure there is flexibility to respond to failures to deliver the required dwellings in the allotted time frames and across the whole plan period.
• To this end, the Council would therefore need to identify additional suitable land supply, in the order of c.750-1,500 dwellings.
Part 1 – add a 5-10% buffer to the stated housing requirement
