Agree that SM is good starting point for assessing housing need. PPG states that only a minimum.
Two factors need to be considered at the next stage of the Local Plan:
a) Impact of supergrowth associated with High Speed 2 (HS2), the planned investment in strategic infrastructure improvements at UK Central and elsewhere in the Borough to facilitate growth, on the housing needs
b) Reach a more firm position in respect of the level of HMA shortfall that will be accommodated in the Borough.
We write on behalf of our client, IM Properties Limited (hereafter referred to as 'IM'), in response to the Solihull Local Plan Review (SLPR) Draft Local Plan (DLP) Supplementary Consultation, which was published for consultation in January 2019.
IM Properties own and are actively promoting several sites and assets within the Borough, including Mell Square, Blythe Valley Park and Fore Business Park.
IM Land, the strategic land division of IM, also has existing and emerging land interests within the Borough; separate representations have been submitted
in relation to IM Land's interests.
