Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Reason for site selection-sustainability:
- Inconsistent application of site methodology
- Main reason for choosing site is proximity to Whitlocks End station
- Does not take into account sustainability objectives, strategic objectives, 2016 Draft LPR 'guiding principles', sequential approach, Policy P7 nor Policy P8
- Inconsistent with national policy on achieving sustainable development
- SA report is inaccurate
- Not in accordance with site selection in Para. 68 in SDLPR
- Number of adverse impacts
- Not within 800m walking distance of services/facilities
- Will not change high car dependency in village
- Footpaths on concept masterplan through Birchy Close will not be possible, therefore walking distances longer from site to Dickens Heath village centre
- Will add to existing parking issues in village (see Motts Parking Study)
- Whitlocks End station has overloaded (pre-Covid) rail service; over 15 mins to Birmingham or Stratford-u-Avon; slow and indirect bus service; no public transport to UK Central; no direct cycle or footway to village centre
- Our own analysis shows that site should have been discounted at Step 1
- Site should not be green in site selection, but red.
