Concerns on Green Belt grounds and landscape character sensitivity.
The land has the essential GB character of openness. Open vistas southwards are evident from Dog Kennel Lane.
Development would extend built development out into open countryside.
Constructing a new road to form the Green Belt boundary does not conform to Government policy. Given that the existing field structure does not have a clear contiguous defensible Green Belt boundary to the south, how would coalescence with Cheswick Green be prevented and what impact would there be on openness, developing out into open countryside and impact on landscape character?
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
