Suggest allocation of sites 86 and 96. They are small / medium site which taken with others could better and faster achieve the Council's housing requirement.
Site 86 is degraded land and a brownfield site. It is sufficiently contained to have far lass impact on the Green Belt than Site allocation 6.
Site 96 - in broad terms there is nothing to choose between extending the Solihull urban area eastwards in this sector to Field Lane, or Catherine-de-Barnes westwards to Field Lane.

There are 2 major faults with the way in which new housing is proposed and located:
1) concentration an a small number of large housing sites instead of a range of different sized sites.
2) disproportionate amount of additional housing proposed in the Local Plan Review is proposed to be located in Blythe Ward - Parishes of Dickens Heath and Cheswick Green. 45% of all the proposed additional housing would be sited in these two parishes.

The Council has put forward a reasonable case for the housing numbers proposed but it still falls short of what should be provided in Solihull in terms of meeting the Objectively Assessed Housing Need requirement for the Birmingham HMA. Most of site allocations are large sites but the Council is relying too much on volume house builders to deliver. The Housing White Paper highlights the need to release more small and medium sized sites.
