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 which has led to higher scores and GBA approach has led to inconsistencies in assessing edge of settlement sites.
Consideration of Amber Sites includes little additional analysis and there are inconsistencies between site assessments.
Assessment of Site 197 Berkswell Road, Meriden based on wider parcel rather than smaller area off Berkswell Road. Based on evidence in the LV Statement, it is considered that Site 197 should be lower performing in the GBA and identified as priority 5 in Step 1. Under Step 2 it should have been assessed as a 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 there are three sites that should be removed from being
assessed as Red sites and moved into Amber, including Site 197 land at Berkswell Road, Meriden.
Utilising this site would enable a less intensive scheme more in keeping with a semi-rural settlement on Site 10, and spread development on smaller scale sites.

Site has a number of constraints and increase in density will impact on more sensitive area to the north, be high for an otherwise semi-rural settlement and be incongruous with the guidance in the LCA.
Restricting development to the less sensitive southern part and utilising an alternative site, Site 197 Berkswell Road would allow more appropriate smaller scale and lower density development
