Pegasus Review of SHMA:
OAN for wider HMA should be calculated.
Ideally should split Birmingham overspill proportionally between neighbours.
Future projections and migration patterns should not be based on recession.
Should apply 3% vacancy rate.
Should frontload any 2011-2014 shortfall.
Should deliver more housing South of A45 as locus of market pressure.
Should not confuse market signal uplift with HMA shortfall.
Data used in Experian model is out-of-date and outputs too pessimistic in projecting job numbers.
Solihull will continue to have overheated housing market if insufficient housing allocated.
