Site 116 r/o 146-152 Tilehouse Lane, Whitlock's End (A3) should be assessed as green and allocated.
Existing housing/railway line/road provide strong defensible green belt boundaries. NE and SW boundaries well treed.
Sustainable location, near station and existing bus services, served by pavements. Close to nursery school/church/restaurant with further facilities nearby in Tidbury Green/Wythall/Grimes Hill/Major's Green/extended Dickens Heath.
No significant constraints, site available and evidence provided. Planning Appeal demonstrates well-contained, openness issues can be addressed.
SHELAA site assessment misleading, should be Category 1, and capacity unrealistic. Landscape Character Assessment irrelevant. Sustainability Appraisal performance contested.
Object to inclusion as priority 8 in site selection, as medium accessibility and part brownfield. Should be priority 3 for brownfield area and 5 for remainder as lower performing green belt. No constraints so Step 2 should be green.
