Aware of critique Barton Willmore have made of the SHMA methodology:
No positive adjustment to address household suppression in younger households;
Not adequately addressed fact that housing has become absolutely less affordable over long-term;
Not adequately addressed balance between job growth and population growth;
Target should be increased to a minimum of 890 homes p.a., and exceeding 1,000 homes p.a. to support UKC Hub scenario.
Need to reconsider role in accommodating Birmingham's shortfall; 6% is insufficient.
North Warwickshire report states Solihull provides the largest single inflow of people commuting into Birmingham, and should take a greater share. (NW taking 10%).
