Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 6275

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: North Warwickshire Borough Council

Representation Summary:

Note the DLP indicates a modest contribution to Birmingham's shortfall.
Wish to raise major concerns that 2000 dwellings does not signficantly or sufficiently address neither the scale of the shortfall, nor the clear and significant links and relationships between Solihull and the Greater Birmingham area.
No clear rationale on how 2000 figure arrived at.
Particulary relevant given:
North Warwickshire's proposal of testing 3790 dwellings in their Local Plan to address shortfall;
Comparative infrastructure and services available in both authorities;
Significantly higher levels of commuting traffic, and travel to work relationships between Solihull and Birmingham, both local and strategic.
