Concern the Council has taken a precautionary approach to identifying land. Suggest a plan, monitor, manage approach to avoid over-allocating land and unnecessary Green Belt loss.
Employment Land Study used 2014 BRES data. Since updated with 2015 BRES data, which show 6% increase in job numbers in Solihull. Experian forecasts therefore underestimated future job growth.
Should include a number of small scale sites for development, including those that support Airport, JLR etc. Range to types, sizes across the Borough.
More difficult to regenerate older sites. Recycle vacant sites & identify replacements elsewhere.
Policy P3 should align with UK Industrial Strategy.
