Agree with use of 2014-based projections and application of cap. Figure arrived at is minimum. There are clear exceptional circumstances to justify significantly higher housing figure taking account of the significant economic growth at UKC/Arden Cross and employment-led growth recommended in SGS. Response to DLP indicated Solihull needs of 20,000-24,000 dwellings over Plan period, without uplift for UKC/SGS.

Inconsistencies in Step 1 assessment for Site 195 Damson Parkway. Consider that site should be priority 5 (not 6) and be assessed under Step 2, as evidenced in LVI statement.
Consideration of Amber Sites includes little additional analysis and there are inconsistencies between site assessments.
Site 195 should be identified as Green or Amber Site.

Based on the inconsistency with the site selection assessment of sites that has
been demonstrated fully within the Landscape and Visual Statements (Appendix
2) it is considered that site 195 Land at Damson Parkway should be included as
an Amber site if not a Green site, particularly given the neighbouring sites to the
south of the Grand Union Canal have been included as a Proposed Housing
allocation - Site 16 for development of up to 600 dwellings.

Inconsistencies in Step 1 assessment which has led to higher scores and GBA approach has led to inconsistencies in assessing edge of settlement sites. Consider that there is no justification for Site 196 Bickenhill Road, identified as priority 5 in Step 1 and Red in Step 2, not to be identified as a Green or Amber Site, as evidenced in LVI statement.
Consideration of Amber Sites includes little additional analysis and there are inconsistencies between site assessments.
Site 199 should undergo Step 2 assessment and be identified as Green or Amber Site.

Based on the inconsistency with the site selection assessment of sites that has
been demonstrated fully within the Landscape and Visual Statements (Appendix

the Council's own assessment site should be at least an Amber, if not a Green
site.
