Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8649

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Birmingham City Council

Representation Summary:

Birmingham City Council has no specific comments on the Site Selection methodology itself. However, it is not clear whether the assessment of the 70+ additional 'call for sites' submissions since the Draft Plan stage has contributed positively to the overall land supply already identified in the Local Housing Need section of the document. If so, this would provide some additional capacity on top of the 2,000 additional homes already identified to meet the HMA shortfall.
