Alternative Site should be considered instead of Site BL1 (south of Tythe Barn Lane):
Arden Green/Tidbury Green Golf Course, CFS Ref. 545:
- Would accommodate 250 dwellings
- Is also within walking distance of Whitlocks End station, Tidbury Green Primary School and Tidbury Green village Hall.
- SA score of 290.
- Site is available for development now.
- Site not surrounded by 9 Local Wildlife Sites or ancient woodland.
- Site does not flood on the proposed housing areas.
- No sports fields needing re-location.
- Similarly accessible to shops and services as BL1, still necessitating car journeys.
- Lower performing Green Belt parcel.
- Site visually and physically detached from Dickens Heath village like Site BL1
- Could link with POS at recent Lowbrook Farm development, making a more meaningful walkway/cycle route to Whitlocks End station, and link north to proposed country park south of Shirley.
- Accord with NPPF Para. 138.
- Could provide corner sop on Tilehouse Lane to increase sustainability score.
- Tidbury Green golf course should be Priority 5 status (yellow)
