Respondent: Coventry City Council

Support the provision of new housing across and appreciate the current challenges regarding the levels of unmet need from Birmingham that should be accommodated in the Greater Birmingham Housing Market Area (GBHMA).
Given the pressures across the GBHMA and the Coventry and Warwickshire HMA, Solihull should continue to ensure that the needs of the GBHMA are met within its own area. The Council should ensure that every reasonable step has been taken to explore and positively plan for unmet need from Birmingham and other GBHMA authorities at a level that is justified and supported by evidence.
