Representation Summary:

It is unlikely that Coventry City will be able to accommodate all of its objectively assessed housing needs within its own administrative area. However, no specific allowance has been made for this within the Plan's housing target. For the reasons stated above, we consider there to be a number of deficiencies within the Joint SHMA that call into the question the accuracy of the objectively assessed need within the HMA.

We do not consider that part C of Policy DS20 constitutes a 'concrete action or outcome' as the Council are effectively deferring the identification of suitable sites to meet the needs of an adjoining authority.

Whilst we are therefore generally supportive of the sentiment that the Council are expressing in Policy DS20, we do not consider that it goes far enough.
