GVA - OAN for Solihull on behalf of Schools of King Edward VI
Broadly agree with following in SHMA:
* 2014 household projections are demographic starting point.
* 10% market uplift
* Vacancy Rate (2.3%)
* 62dpa for 2011-2014 shortfall
Disagree with SHMA and recommend following:
* Experian model too constrained. Cambridge Econometrics unconstrained model preferred. Additional economic needs uplift required.
* HMA contribution should be based on % HMA employment growth or commuting links with Birmingham.
* Housing requirement range from 914 to 1317dpa.
