Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 11153

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: IM Properties - Land west of Stratford Road

Agent: Marrons Planning

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Site 62 (Land west of Stratford Road) is well served by public transport and should be regarded as having a ‘High’ Accessibility Score within the Council’s evidence.

The site offers compensatory improvements to the environmental quality and accessibility of the remaining Green Belt. Releasing the site from the green belt would not lead to any meaningful reduction in distances between neighbouring towns.

It is inconsistent and unreasonable for Site 62 to be assessed as ‘red’ with severe impacts in the Landscape Character Assessment, as proposed allocated sites within the same Assessment area are assessed as ‘green’.

Stratford Road is no longer an appropriate boundary for the Green Belt. Properties on the northern side of Creynolds Lane should not be designated in the Green Belt.

Change suggested by respondent:

The Site Selection should include an allocation of land west of Stratford Road.
