Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 10339

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: David Osborne

Representation Summary:

Site 207 (Land bounded by Brown's Lane, Smiths Lane and Widney Manor Road) makes far more sense (than Amber site A5). Closer to M42 and major road access and much lower visual impact.

Full text:

Strongly object to A5 and 413.
A5 is high quality green belt.
Contravenes policy D1 'Density'.
Detremental to 'local character' required by the National Planning Policy forum.
Visual Sensitivity is extremely high due to the openness of this location. This location is on a hill so any development will be obvious to immediate area and beyond.
Flooding risk.
Ruins the visual appraoch to Dorridge.
With the profile of Dorridge and this location, the development would impact the overall attractiveness of Solihull Borough.
Site 207 makes far more sense, closer to M42 and major road access and much lower visual impact.
