Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10074
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd
Agent: DS Planning
The site assessment document states:
a) "....... part high (highest) performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment and would result in an indefensible Green Belt boundary to the east.
b) "Site has a low level of accessibility....." and
c) "Could be considered subject to provision of clear firm green belt boundaries".
d) "Development should preferably be on land that is more highly accessible, and/or performs least well in Green Belt terms and/or provides strong defensible boundaries".
Allocation is reliant on the building of a bypass and the assembly of land outside the site allocation. Hardly glowing commentary for an allocation.
This is the response of Minton 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 Oak Farm Catherine de Barnes 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 full Oak Farm site should be an
allocation within the Local Plan. We have also carried out our own Green Belt
Assessment a copy of which is attached
