Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 6316

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: IM Land

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

Supergrowth assumptions:
SHMA includes job forecasts from UKC HS2 Interchange Station Growth strategy Strategic Outline Case (May 2015). Assumes a total net growth of 11,900 jobs within Solihull, with 5,336 up to 2033.
Appears to contrast significantly with DLP justifying text on the scale of ambition for the area and significant costs of infrastructure.
Experian labour force behaviour changes do not reflect acknowledgement in ELR that supergrowth jobs will be concentrated in professional and private services.
Experian model assumes a significant increase in net in-commuting to Solihull to satisfy job growth. Unclear whether implications for Birmingham have been considered.
