Objects to Policy KN1;
4 different ownerships of the site (site cannot b treated/delivered as a single entity) - If the site is taken out of the Greenbelt it is likely that the developers will seek permission to develop the former Thacker’s Nursery on its own, which should be resisted as it forms part of “The Meriden Gap”, and in the most part forms an extension of the urbanisation, rather than a “Rounding Off”.
Without evidence to demonstrate that this housing allocation and associated sports benefits is deliverable, the effectiveness of the Council’s Local Plan is in doubt and the requirements of the test of soundness have not been met. In the absence of such evidence, Policy KN1-Hampton Road, Knowle and related text should be deleted from the plan,
