The Solihull Strategic Green Belt Assessment does not make recommendations for amendments to the Green Belt boundary but that it forms the basis for more detailed assessment. There is no evidence of any more detailed assessment. The Assessment was prepared in 2016 and therefore pre-dates the current version of the National Planning Policy Framework.
There are inaccuracies in relation to the assessment of Site 62 (Parcel RP62). Development of the site would not result in the gap between Solihull and Cheswick Green being any smaller than exists at present.
The Strategic Green Belt Assessment takes no account of any compensatory improvements to the remaining Green Belt that may arise from the release of land. Any release of the land from the Green Belt at Site 62 would give an injection of resources that would enable investment in improving facilities.
The Strategic Green Belt Assessment should be updated and corrected in relation to its Assessment of RP62 (land west of Stratford Road). The Assessment should take into consideration any compensatory improvements to the environmental quality and accessibility of the remaining Green Belt.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please see attached multiple representations on behalf of IM Properties in respect of land west of Stratford Road (Site 62).
Kind Regards,
