Disagree with findings in SHMA, demographic OAHN and proposed contribution to HMA shortfall.
Conclusions:
Higher demographic starting point should be 710 to 799 dpa.
To support baseline economic growth scenario a minimum of 858 dpa is required.
To support UKC Hub scenario a minimum of 1,041 dpa required.
Higher market signals uplift required.
Consequently the OAHN for Solihull should be between 20,437 and 22,400.
Serious concerns about 2000 contribution to shortfall - no technical approach has been identified.
Should be significantly higher.
Recommend Solihull progress a MoU with Birmingham and follow methodology of other HMAs e.g. Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
