Duty to co-operate? Yes

Site 407 (Land at Widney Manor Road) -The negative effects identified in the SA can be mitigated for example ecology, amenity and distance to local services. There are no significant adverse effects that would mean the site should not be allocated.
The site clearly falls within the first tier of the Spatial Strategy (Option A), not Option G as in the Site Assessment. The site selection has not fairly considered the site and includes no sound reasons for not allocating it.
The Green Belt parcel within which the site is located is wide and does not reflect the site.
The site is suitable for nine dwellings as shown on the illustrative masterplan appended. It is:
a. is developable, available and achievable;
b. is low performing in Green Belt terms when correctly assessed
c. has a low impact in landscape terms due to its enclosed nature;
d. is sustainable being within walking distance of Widney Manor Rail Station and Solihull Town Centres.
As a site of 1ha, it would make a contribution to addressing the failure of the Plan to identify sufficient small sites.
