Disagree.
Not produced a HMA-wide SHMA.
Evidence that 2000 figure for HMA shortfall is not agreed.
Lack of clarity over mechanism for agreement of distribution of HMA shortfall.
37,900 shortfall.
Solihull well placed to take further growth:
Economic growth,
Public transport links,
Lack of Absolute constraints,
Attractive and aspirational housing market.
SHMA has taken insufficient account of different needs of population; underestimates level of housing required to support economic growth ambitions; inaccurate conclusion about multiple jobs, % of HMA shortfall.
Housing requirement in Policy P5 should be increased to at least 25,023 or 1,317 p.a.; including 36% of HMA shortfall.

Critically, the Council's evidence, particularly in relation to economic growth underestimates the level of housing required to support the likely change in employment.
