SHMA is not an OAHN for Greater Birmingham HMA.
GBHMA Stage 3 Report uses 2012 SNHP therefore is not up-to-date.
Housing and Employment strategies must be properly aligned - no adjustment to support economic growth generated by HS2 Hub in Solihull.
Assessment of worsening market signals, affordable housing need and supporting economic growth should have been calculated for the whole HMA.
10% uplift to address affordability is too conservative.
No evidence to justify 2,000 dwellings to meet HMA needs; meagre amount.
Not yet been a positive outcome to Duty-to-Cooperate engagement.
Discount of 10% uplift from HMA shortfall is illogical.
