The housing requirement figure of 15,029 additional homes does not respond sufficiently to the unmet need from the Greater Birmingham housing market area. Whilst the distribution of the full shortfall of 37,900 has yet to be established, other authorities within the housing market area consider the contribution in the Draft Local Plan of 2,000 houses is inadequate. Further work is yet to take place to establish the distribution of the unmet need and is likely to report in Autumn 2017. The Local Plan Review should allow flexibility to address this without further Plan or Green Belt review.
