Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 11256

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: SMBC Strategic Land and Property Team - Site S02

Agent: Cushman and Wakefield

Representation Summary:

The allocation of Site SO2 is sound – positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework. The allocation is accessible, in a sustainable location and will contribute to the Borough’s housing land supply.

The Preferred Concept Masterplan demonstrates that the site could deliver 131 new homes in line with the requirements of Policy P5 and other policies within the Draft Plan. The masterplan has been informed by detailed technical assessment and onsite surveys. The site provides a development density of 35-40+ dph. The masterplan proposal is appropriate to the character of the area and its surroundings, based on the following key considerations- connectivity, frontages and scale, residential, open space, highways infrastructure, good design practices and sustainability.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy SO2 Moat Lane (and the Summary Table at para 226) and the Concept Masterplan Document, should refer to the site’s capacity being ‘at least’ 90 dwellings.
