Support for Site 16.
Topography means it is obscured from viewpoints in surrounding area.
Highly sustainable location; easy walking and cycling distance to Solihull Town Centre.
Site in several ownerships.
UKLD fully engaged with landowners and will promote as one comprehensive development.
Progressing further technical work.
Developable in early part of plan period.

Government published their response to Starter Homes Technical Consultation on 07.02.17. Concluded they will not make 20% Starter Homes compulsory.
Intended that NPPF will be amended to introduce clear policy expectation that 10% of new development is affordable housing.
50% target is 10% higher than existing policy. No Viability work been undertaken yet.
As not supported by Government expectations or viability testing then consider 50% is inappropriately high and should be revised to according to viability work.

Apparent from Housing Topic Paper that lower range in SHMA has been adopted in DLP, and not been justified.
Council has changed position from SLP 2013 when it stated it could not meet its own needs.
Lack of MoU between HMA authorities on meeting shortfall.
No evidence provided on Solihull's contribution of 2000.
Housing land supply should not include SHELAA.
No evidence provided on 36dph densities.
Any phasing should be flexible as market conditions can change.
Council will require more robust evidence on OAN before Examination.

Consider that capacity of Sites 5,9,11,18 and 19 have been overestimated, resulting in a shortfall of 1,107-1.607.
Consider that the Smiths Lane site would be sustainable and could assist by accommodating up to 300 - 350 dwellings.

SHELAA identifies the site as facing significant suitability and achievability constraints, notably almost 50% of site within Flood Zone 2 and 25-50% of Site in a LWS.
Poor marketability and/or viability.
Limited developable land.
Unlikely to come forward in first 10 years of plan period.
Notwithstanding the comments above, if site should come forward, potential only for 100 dwellings.

SHELAA reveals not all landowners been contacted.
Request confirmation of landowner involvement before site is allocated.
No evidence that feasibility studies were carried out prior to proposed allocation in DLP.
Concur with promoters that access to site is major constraint.
Seems unlikely that NHS/CCG would allow 1500+ pupils to gain access to school through their grounds.
Landscape and topography issues.
Better to disperse 750 dwellings between Site 9 and SHELAA Site 207.

Active businesses should be excluded from red line site.
Our calculations demonstrate ca. 8.8ha of developable land, or 253 dwellings at 36dph and 80% NDA.
Clarification required whether uplift is due to high density apartments/Extra Care etc.
Unclear how Policy P3 and P5 work in relation to this site. Current allocation would conflict with Policy P3 as clarification required on use, type and amount on the site.
Draft allocation does not reflect uses in Call for Sites form.

Solihull Arden Club in active use.
Existing access is poor, likely that wider access would be required to serve residential development.
If Tennis Club excluded from allocation, yield would be ca. 69 dwellings.
Development of sports pitch would be loss of recreational land.
It would be necessary to consult with Sport England on this matter.

Delivery of 1000 dwellings is optimistic in plan period up to 2031 (sic).
Residential development could only commence once HS2 opened in 2026.
143 dpa over 7 years would require 3 outlets per annum.
May be pushed back further if delivery of HS2 is delayed.
Delivery of housing before HS2 would mean construction issues, undesirable location and lack of facilities in close proximity.
If site not come forward, will require other sites. SHELAA Site 207 is suitabile alternative.
