Broadly agree with spatial strategy.
Ought to recognise the opportunity to round off the edge of the Solihull urban area.
Proposed that the spatial strategy diagram on p.37 of DLP is amended to show a 'Location of Growth' arrow between fringe of Mature Suburbs area south of Town Centre and northern side of M42, concentrated around the railway line.

GVA - OAN for Solihull on behalf of Schools of King Edward VI

Broadly agree with following in SHMA:
* 2014 household projections are demographic starting point.
* 10% market uplift
* Vacancy Rate (2.3%)
* 62dpa for 2011-2014 shortfall

Disagree with SHMA and recommend following:
* Experian model too constrained. Cambridge Econometrics unconstrained model preferred. Additional economic needs uplift required.
* HMA contribution should be based on % HMA employment growth or commuting links with Birmingham.
* Housing requirement range from 914 to 1317dpa.

Housing target should be increased, therefore conclude that insufficient land has been identified in DLP.
Propose additional land is released from the Green Belt and allocated for residential development.
This should include land at Widney Manor Road.
Para. 223, the Summary Table of Allocated Sites, should be amended to include land at Widney Manor Road.
Appendix C should be updated to include aforementioned land.
