Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1434

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

Proposed locations do not comply with the NPPF, the greenbelt analysis, sustainable locations/transport policies. The greenbelt analysis is flawed, as land to the east of Balsall Common in the narrowest part of the greenbelt has a higher value than other greenbelt. Similarly the land between Dickens Heath and Shirley. Land close to the urban core with all its facilities and a new settlement in north Berkswell are better alternatives, and how can SMBC justify not building in Dorridge with its 3 trains per hour but can in Balsall Common where there is no 30 minute service.
