Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 14523

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Rainier Developments Ltd - Land South of Park Lane

Agent: Marrons Planning

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The Sustainability Appraisal has not fairly considered reasonable alternatives in respect of levels of
employment growth. Fails to appraise alternative levels or locations for employment growth. In fact, the level of growth was pre-determined prior to undertaking the SA this year, and has therefore not been informed by the SA in accordance with the NPPF.
Site 534 has not been assessed other than as part of a broad area

Change suggested by respondent:

The SA should be updated to consider higher levels of employment growth using a more refined approach, and alternative locations of employment.
An SA of Site 534 (land south of Kenilworth Road and south of Park Lane, Balsall Common) for employment uses should be undertaken as part of an update to the SA.
