Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10081
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Minton (CdeB) Ltd
Agent: DS Planning
Identified as an employment site in the Solihull local Plan 2013 and a mixed
use site in the SDLP 2016 (housing and employment). Would support a mixed
use allocation but recent planning decisions would appear to negate this suggestion.
There is conflict with the employment policy within the SDLP 2016 and the future balance between employment and housing in the Borough. No indication as to where the B1 uses on site would relocate to.
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
