PARAGRAPH 228
Lichfield District Council is concerned that given the approach taken within the Draft Submission Plan, Solihull Council is not committed to fully addressing the GBHMA shortfall and this is particularly significant given the geographic context and transport links between Solihull Borough and Birmingham.
Whilst the approach towards calculating the Borough’s own local housing requirement and the site selection process is noted and appears to be soundly based, Lichfield District Council is conscious that the contribution of 2,105 dwellings towards the GBHMA shortfall is lower than the contribution proposed by neighbouring authorities such as Lichfield District and North Warwickshire. Therefore, further sites may need to be identified and released from the Green Belt.
