Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10035
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Mr T Khan
Agent: DS Planning
The site assessment would not immediately suggest this site was suitable for allocation. It lies within the highest performing Green Belt Parcel, site has high visual landscape sensitivity. If HS2 is built the site would lie in a narrow belt between two highly used railway lines, hardly an ideal situation for residential development. Site would lie outside the suggested firm and defensible Green Belt boundary east of Balsall Common, at odds with the implied development intentions. Being contaminated land its viability would come into question. Difficult to understand why this site is proposed for allocation.
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.
