Would result in coalescence between Dickens Heath, Whitlocks End and Majors Green. Site is highly visually sensitive in landscape terms. Development would be an ill-thought out addition to the west of Dickens Heath and have no relationship to the original concept or masterplan. Masterplan makes no reference to how the site would complement or enhance Dickens Heath and it is acknowledged that further work is needed to identify links to the Village Centre.
Site 4 has been dismissed as an allocation numerous times.
No identified sites for the relocation of Sports pitches.
No evidence of highway impact of the development.
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
