The evidence demonstrates that site 207 has limited constraints and is in a very accessible and sustainable location. The allocation of the site could provide additional market and affordable housing to meet Solihull and the Greater Birmingham Housing Market Area’s housing needs (see response to Policy P5) as well as providing land for a community use or other community facility and public open space. It is consider that the benefits of allocating this site within the Local Plan Review far outweigh any potential concerns SMBC have relating to the narrowing of the gap between Bentley Heath and Solihull. We therefore consider that this land should be released from the Green Belt and allocated within the Local Plan Review.
Allocate site 207 in the Plan.
