Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Representation ID: 13910
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: Mrs M Joyce
Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd
Land (SHELAA site references 2, 21 and 96) forms a logical, limited and proportionate area for inclusion within the inset to Catherine- de-Barnes.
The site has a low Green Belt Assessment score (2016 Green Belt Assessment). The land is partly brownfield and makes a very limited contribution towards the purposes of including land within the Green Belt. Development would not lead to ‘coalescence’ and the site would have very clear physical and defensible boundaries. The site compares favourably than HA2 ‘Oak Farm, Catherine de Barnes’.
There are no physical or legal constraints restricting development. Many of the landowners have promoted land for development along Lugtrout Lane.
The Plan should make provision to safeguard land.
A new paragraph below paragraph 639 should be included:
‘In addition to the proposed site allocation HA2 ‘Oak Farm, Catherine-de-Barnes’ that would fall within the settlement boundary, if the Green Belt boundary is amended as proposed, there is also land to the northwest of Catherine-de-Barnes (as shown on Enclosure 2 Plan number 2009910(M)-103) that would be considered appropriate for development as it would then fall outside the Green Belt. This area has been promoted for development by landowners and if the Green Belt boundary is changed the area would no longer be subject to Green Belt policy. Following the proposed amendments as defined on the Policies Plan Map, proposals in this location will be considered appropriate for residential development subject to development proposals satisfying local and national planning policy requirements.’
Or:
‘In addition to the proposed site allocation HA2 ‘Oak Farm, Catherine-de-Barnes’ that would fall within the settlement boundary, if the Green Belt boundary is amended as proposed, there is also land to the northwest of Catherine-de-Barnes (as shown on Enclosure 2 Plan number 2009910(M)-103) identified as safeguarded land for future development.’
The Policies Plan Map should be amended to exclude the area of land adjacent to and northwest of the settlement of Catherine-de-Barnes from the Green Belt or it should be identified as safeguarded land as shown on plan number 2009910(M)-103; with an approximate SHELAA capacity of up to 64 dwellings.’
