1. Removal of site from Plan pending further investigation for alternative brownfield sites .
2. Extension of time for enquiries, investigation and reports.

1. In my opinion I consider the plan to use the green belt to be in breach of the Government National Planning Policy Framework Document Section 13 'Protecting Green Belt Land' in particular Paragraphs have not been met in part or full or taken into consideration and are numbered:
133, 134 c, d, e , 136, 137, 138,139, 140,143, 144, 145.
2. In what I consider further breach of NPPF the Council have not adequately demonstrated, investigated, and exhausted the use of Brownfield sites available in the borough as per their 2019 Register https://www.solihull.gov.uk/blr numbering 209 HA and up to 3524 dwellings the Local plan uses just 7 HA (140 Dwellings) of brownfield land as opposed to 340 HA of Green Belt.
3. I consider the Knowle Transport Study dated October 2020 to be missing vital data and other information that was due to be updated in March 2020 but was cancelled due to COVID and therefore is inadequate and to quote the words of the Mark Andrews Solihull Head of Planning in his email reply to me dated 7th Dec 2020 “I should stress though that for the purpose of the Local Plan we must demonstrate that the proposed development could be developed and any impacts it generates could be mitigated in a reasonable way” I do not believe this test has been met.
4. The minimum 6 week consultation period was too short and given the unprecedented Global Pandemic and 4 weeks of this period was a National Lockdown imposed by the Government due process and the ability to engage in person or public was severely impeded and therefore due process could not possibly be achieved for myself or any residents my wholly reasonable requests for an extension of time were refused.
5. I still await full and adequate responses to my further enquiries and just today 14th Dec 2020 (last day for representations) I received a partial reply from Mark Andrews who was absent due to ill health, was there no one else available in his absence or was the Planning Dept disrupted due to the Global Pandemic, further evidence for the need for an extension of time for everyone including the Planning Dept?
6. I await answers to my enquiries relating to possible Conflict of Interest by Solihull Council and reasons why this was not declared and made very clear to the Public at the outset of this process. In my opinion this site has been promoted on economic grounds without due consideration to the Green Belt loss, Conservation High Street, the Village atmosphere, climate change impact and the Community as a whole.
