Land at Bickenhill Road, Marston Green is available, developable and would deliver 137 – 176 dwellings depending upon density. There are no known constraints that would prevent development. Evidence demonstrates that in Green Belt terms the site is suitable for consideration as a ‘Green Site’, development would have a minimal impact upon the Green Belt. The proposals would support the delivery of the Council’s preferred approach that focuses development towards the most sustainable locations.
There are exceptional circumstances to justify the release of the site from the Green Belt to deliver housing growth for which there is a need. As a very minimum the site should be safeguarded to provide flexibility for future needs although the unmet need means that it should be brought forward now.
The site should be reassessed objectively by the Council and considered as a suitable site for housing development.
