Representation ID: 10031

Respondent: Mr T Khan
Agent: DS Planning
Doubts about the likelihood of comprehensive development and deliverability of some of the proposed allocations particularly when complex land assembly issues are highlighted. This is particularly relevant to Site 1.
No certainty over the provision of HS2 and the Balsall Common By-pass and as such there are doubts over the provision of a firm eastern Green Belt boundary, without which, as acknowledged in the site assessment that the site would result in an indefensible Green Belt boundary. Some of the site is within the highest performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment but not referenced in the site assessment.
This is the response of Mr Taj Khan, Sid Kelly and John Green to the supplementary
consultation by Solihull Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The
purpose of the response is to comment on the draft Plan and promote the site at 15,
59, & 61 Jacobean Lane Knowle for inclusion as a housing allocation within the Plan
and land north of Jacobean Lane being removed from the Green Belt and to support
the removal of land from the Green Belt to rectify anomalies and for consistency.
