The borough does not exist in isolation. It is part of the Birmingham conurbation and largely is providing dormitory facilities for the wider community.
Plan should be more holistic looking at needs and land stock across the region, not apportioned mathematically by local authority. Warwickshire has huge reserves of land without compromising green belt and labour shortages, but transport infrastructure prohibits integration with urban centres. Additional accommodation could be provided if suitable transport integration was prioritised. This should be addressed by the WMCA.

Other more rural parts of the region in Warwickshire could provide suitable additional accommodation without compromising green belt if suitable transport integration was prioritised.
