Respondent: Kier Living Ltd - Coleshill Road
Agent: Nexus Planning
Solihull should accommodate larger portion of Birmingham City's unmet needs than currently providing for and make more significant contribution to the West Midland Combined Authority's regional housing requirement (see WM Housing Package). Using standard methodology, Birmingham shortfall is 20,444 (37,900 in Plan) and HMA only providing 10,130 (SGS). Borough well-placed to provide for Birmingham needs and has accommodated 28% of net migration from City. Plan should accommodate 5,723 (10,612) of unmet HMA needs.
WM Housing Package requires 215,000 new homes by 2031. Proportionate to standard methodology, Solihull contribution should be 7% or 15,050, so need more complex/higher than suggested.
