P4 currently states that affordable housing will be required at 50%; split 30% traditional affordable/20% Starter Homes provision. However, in the light of the Government's White Paper the currently proposed split, set at 20% is not justified and further consultation with the development industry should be undertaken. Whilst amendments will be made to the NPPF to reflect White Paper comments on
repayment periods and the income caps as drafted, Policy P4 and the 20% Starter Homes requirement is considered to be premature and the policy should be amended to include flexibility and an allowance for site by site negotiation.

the housing split (figures in the DLP) do not sum and clarification is considered necessary, particularly on how the published split of the housing target fits into the wider overall housing target for the Plan period.
It is also considered that the housing requirement in Policy P5 should be expressed as a minimum.
consensus must be reached between Solihull and the HMA authorities as to how the Birmingham shortfall will be distributed.

additional housing site allocations should be identified in order to provide flexibility for a scenario where Solihull is required to meet a higher proportion of this shortfall.

Policy P5, as drafted in respect of proposals for phasing of the residential allocations is considered unsound. It is not justified and will not be effective in bringing forward housing to address the historic shortfall in delivery in Solihull.

The infrastructure matters identified are commonplace for new housing developments and are not objected to in principle. Definitive infrastructure requirements will need to be established through the planning application process.
