Evidence on household formation and movement to work patterns, suggest Solihull should make a much higher contribution.
GBHMA currently working on evidence to investigate potential spatial options across HMA to meet shortfall,

Welcome Solihull's commitment to meet own OAHN.
NPPF makes clear that HMA housing need should be met in full, includes 14 local authorities.
2,000 figure would only represent 5% of shortfall.
Evidence relating to movement of households and traffic to work patterns between Birmingham and Solihull would indicate far higher contribution from SMBC.
Emerging Plan should acknowledge work in Strategic Growth Study being carried out for HMA.
May result in higher figure and need to modify emerging Plan or carry out an immediate review.
