Cala broadly agrees with the approach in Draft Policy Direction 4 and welcomes the statement in Paragraph 4.4 with regards to the Duty to Cooperate. However, the Local Plan should make reference to a realistic level of need based on discussions and evidence to date with neighbouring authorities. The evidence base should be updated to account for expected changes from the latest standard method calculation which will significantly increasing housing needs. The recent withdrawal of the Solihull Local Plan Review following the Inspector's findings of a significant deficit in housing land supply made reference to not only meeting Solihull's own local need in full but also to contribute approximately 2,000 homes to unmet need arising from Birmingham by 2030/31. This highlights that this issue is an important consideration for the South Warwickshire Local Plan.
