Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9582

Respondent: Mr J Allen
Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd
No exceptional circumstances to deviate from the standard methodology, but this is only the minimum starting point. Ambitions to support economic growth and to deliver affordable housing are additional to the local housing need figure. Important to recognise that the standard methodology is intended to deal with housing requirements arising only within Solihull. The wider Housing Market Area is a separate issue to be planned for.
Regrettable that this has not been addressed, given that a 2000 contribution to HMA shortfall is not evidence based and the figure has significant objections.
Solihull should contribute 5000-6000 dwellings to the shortfall.
Cerda Planning has been instructed by Mr J. Allen of Grove Farm, Jacobean Lane, Knowle to prepare representations to the Draft Local Plan Supplementary Consultation, Reviewing the Plan for Solihull's Future dated January 2019.
These Representations relate to land at Grove Farm, Knowle. For ease of reference this site is known as 'No.5' in the Council's documentation
