The Publication Plan is supported by a broad range of evidence documents to be relied upon by the Council in formulating the Local Plan. Bloor Homes supports the identification of the Greater Birmingham HMA Growth Study (2018) and the SHELAA which were absent in the Preferred Options document.
The Greater Birmingham HMA Strategic Growth Study remains the latest comprehensive consideration of housing needs across the Greater Birmingham
and Black Country HMA and provides a range of recommended options for meeting these needs, to be tested through individual LPA Local Plan reviews. This
evidence has been subject to scrutiny as supporting evidence at the North Warwickshire and Solihull Local Plan EiPs and provides justification for the Council’s intended contribution of 4,000 homes to assist in meeting the identified housing shortfall.
Bloor Homes has worked collaboratively with the Council, the City of Wolverhampton Council, other key stakeholders and the Council’s masterplanning consultant to progress the Strategic Development Location proposal for Bilbrook.
