St Philips do not believe there are exceptional circumstances that would justify the Council using an alternative approach, but nonetheless consider the Council have not appropriately addressed the requirement to contribute to the unmet need of the wider HMA. Use of standard methodology and 2014-based projections welcomed. Evidence of lack of agreement across HMA authorities, with NWBC raising concerns. Lack of clarity over mechanism to agree distribution and delivery of shortfall. Solihull well placed to deliver greater proportion, procrastination will result in unmet housing needs, stifle economic growth, and failure to include will mean Plan unsound.
