Respondent: Birmingham City Council

The provision of 2,000 dwellings is an important contribution to meeting the HMA shortfall. However, question the justification and evidence base for this figure.
Concern that at present the Draft SLP does not adequately address the housing shortfall arising from the Birmingham Development Plan and progress on this issue prior to the submission of the Plan will be important in demonstrating that the Duty to Co-operate has been met.
The SA should consider other reasonable alternatives e.g. 2,000-4,000 dwellings and higher contributions.
Unclear what the Objectively Assessed Need is given PBA recommendations and SLP housing land provision target.
