The figure of 2,240 dwellings to be built at the NEC is not justified based on the evidence.
This level of growth will be dependent on the establishment of a new sub-housing market and on the delivery of HS2.
It is unclear whether it’s realistic to expect the provision of apartment accommodation proposed to deliver the amount of affordable housing required.
It is assumed that the delivery of 2,500 homes at NEC will cover the entire NEC masterplan period up to 2047. Therefore, the expected delivery over the plan period would indicate a total of up to 1,380 homes could be delivered by 2036 (a reduction of 860 dwellings) based on the assumed level of growth in the masterplan.
Additional land should be allocated to accommodate a further 1,740 dwellings (880 dwellings for flexibility buffer to the requirement and 860 dwellings for the revised housing delivery at NEC). ‘Land off Main Road, Meriden’ should be allocated for housing.
