The Coventry & Warwickshire joint Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) clearly identifies housing need per authority area. Whilst under the Duty to Co-operate neighbouring authorities have a duty to accommodate unmet need in adjoining districts, this is only relevant where redistribution would still actually meet the need. Directing development to an alternative location will not necessarily meet the need of Warwick District. Furthermore, it is more common that unmet needs form large urban areas which are physically constrained to be redistributed into adjacent rural authorities, than the reverse. In this instance, the pressure is for unmet need which cannot physically be provided within the limits to Coventry is redistributed to the adjoining authorities, as was originally proposed in the West Midlands RSS Revision Phase 2.
