Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10003
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Land to the west of this site was allocated for housing in the 2013 Local plan
on condition that the former ammunition depot was reclaimed for open
space or if not available an alternative development solution delivering open
space was forthcoming. This situation still exists and so calls into question
the allocation. Also the viability of the site may be affected dependent on any
potential contamination issues as a consequence of the former use of the
site.
This is the response of Stonewater to the supplementary consultation by Solihull
Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The purpose of the response is
to comment the draft Plan and promote the site at the Firs Maxstoke Lane (west of
Meriden proposed allocation site 10) for inclusion as a housing allocation within the
Plan. The response is by question order.
The original response to the Solihull Draft Local Plan 2016 consultation is also
attached which highlights the reasons why the site should be an allocation within the
Local Plan (Site Ref 137).
