Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Agree in principle, particularly ambitions for Solihull Town Centre.
However, increasing residential capacity and the relocation of the train station
closer to the town centre have been longstanding ambitions.
Whilst these are supported they have not moved forward towards realisation and remain ambitions.
Doubtful that 861 homes in plan period or 1400 homes overall is achievable.

Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Concern that the full OAHN presented in the SHMA provides an underestimate of housing need in the Borough in accordance with current guidance.
The SDLP is therefore not planning for the correct number of homes to meet
housing need and the housing target should be increased.
Further work being carried out by broader HMA will need to be taken into account.
