Respondent: Stoneleigh & Ashow Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Inaccurate figures and methodology

Full text:

The figures stated do not compute and are unsound. The distribution of Coventry City Council (CCC) overspill housing into Warwickshire districts is based on an inaccurate formula which has been concealed from WDC residents and has not been subject to public consultation. The only information on this formula is located within CCC's Local Plan Examination Library. Coventry has a household projection increase by 2029 of 41,073 but says it can only take 22,140. please see attached document "Local Plan Notes"
The MoU does not have a method built in to enable it to be varied as circumstances change. It was a deal done by the Shadow economic prosperity Board in September 2015, attended only by the CEO's and council leaders of the 6 member authorities. NPPF states that we should use the most up to date data but the MoU figures are based on 2012 based data inflated from 76, 986 to 79,344.
