Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1448
Received: 15/02/2017
Respondent: Dr Christine West
Solihull is a Conservative Council and should abide by the manifesto. "Peston 0n Sunday" (ITV Feb 5); Gavin Barwell (housing minister) stated emphatically that no green field site should be built on unless every brownfield site had been examined in detail, and then, and only then, would "a nibble into the green belt" be sanctioned by the Government. What is proposed for Balsall Common is not a nibble but a huge bite, and therefore we have every confidence that a representation to government would be successful. More than a million people watched this programme.
