Object to omission of Site 413 - Land at Knowle Farm, Dorridge.
This site is available, deliverable and suitable for meeting housing need in a sustainable way, early in the Plan period. It should be removed from the Green Belt and identified as a residential allocation.
In the context of the site selection process it is difficult to understand why the site, which is identified as lying within a lower performing Green Belt parcel with defensible boundaries, in a landscape of medium sensitivity, with high accessibility, no significant constraints, and performs comparatively well in SA terms (mainly neutral effects) has not come forward for allocation.
Site could also assist with the costs for new school in Knowle and a Sports Hub in the settlement, if required.
Site size and extent is incorrect in Site Assessment. Vision Document accompanies submission.
