Ymatebydd: Gladman Developments

The SWLP will need to consider how it will deal with the issue of unmet housing and employment needs arising from the Coventry and Warwickshire HMA (both Warwick
DC and Stratford DC local authority areas) and the Greater Birmingham and Black Country HMA(GBBCHMA) (Stratford-on-Avon DC only). To assist in the understanding of the calculations used, Gladman suggest that the unmet housing needs of each area (Birmingham, Black Country and Coventry) should be considered separately. The quantum of unmet need from each area needs to be clearly set out. Where the unmet need arising from may affect how best that unmet need could be met.
It is noted that the councils are meeting on an on-going basis with their counterparts from other councils and various stakeholders in both the Coventry & Warwickshire
and GBBCHMA to discuss cross-boundary issues. Gladman would encourage these meetings to continue on a regular basis and progress alongside the preparation of the SWLP to maximise the effectiveness of plan-making. If it is concluded that reserve housing sites are required, Gladman would encourage that these sites to be included in the SWLP as housing allocations, rather than relying on such a high windfall allowance.
