Representation ID: 10075

Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd

Land assembly issues are particularly relevant to this proposed allocation. Firm and defensible green belt boundaries would only be created when considered in a comprehensive manner which cannot be assured.
The site is also identified as having high visual sensitivity in the Landscape Character assessment and from an assessment on site it is clearly evident that the land extends into open countryside impacting considerably on the openness of the Green Belt at this point.
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
