Submits additional site located adjacent to 237 Tythe Barn Lane, Dickens Heath to be allocated as part of site 4. The boundaries of the LWS to the east is incorrectly marked and therefore the Ancient woodland has been misrepresented. Land at Tythe Barn Lane, to north east of allocation is mostly previously developed and could accommodate 10 to 12 dwellings on site. It is separate in character and appearance and does not form part of or contribute to the adjacent woodland or LWS. Site is more suitable than site 405 which has been positively tested against the Council's evidence base. It benefits from high accessibility to Whitlock End train station and an existing car access point serves the land preventing the need to remove any hedgerow. Owner committed to delivery within first five years and is in ownership of park of adjacent woodland therefore would consider compensatory measures to enhance the woodland. Highlights concerns over deliverability of housing in other parcels in site 4
