Respondent: Mr T Khan
Agent: DS Planning
Land at 15,59,61 Jacobean Lane should be included as an
allocation.
The site appears to fail on Green Belt and accessibility issues. Access onto Jacobean Lane can be created thereby improving accessibility. Commentary suggesting difficulties in establishing a new defensible boundary is contested.
Boundary fencing with substantial tree and hedgerow planting provides firm and defensible Green Belt boundaries. The site performs equally well or better in Green Belt terms than some allocations.
It is clearly part of and relates well to the village in terms of its character layout and context.
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.
