Preferred Options November 2021
Question 1
Representation ID: 1009
Received: 07/02/2022
Respondent: Solihull Council
Welcome the contribution being made towards the HMA shortfall, particularly as this is likely to result in Green Belt release (as it does in Solihull).
Whilst SSDC may presently believe the emerging shortfall from the Black Country contributes towards exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release, but an alternative strategy would be to plan on the basis of confirmed shortfalls and review the local plan every five years.
SMBC believes SSDC's reliance on the Strategic Growth Study may not be appropriate in all other areas of the HMA as the proposals may not be capable of being accommodated. SSDC's approach should recognise that some additional flexibility may be required if there is emerging evidence that is starting to demonstrate that some of the GL Hearn recommended options may not be suitable, achievable or deliverable and/or other strategic options may be available.
