Solihull Council has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a Local Plan as quickly as possible, following recent correspondence from the Minister of State for Housing and Planning and a subsequent advisory visit from the Planning Inspectorate.
In September, I wrote about the challenges Solihull faces in meeting the housing targets established by government. I tried to explain the nuts and bolts of what is a really complicated legal and policy situation.
With planning a hot topic at the moment, and recent changes to national policy, our Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Managed Growth, Councillor Ian Courts, sets out our position in Solihull and some of the challenges we face.
