Respondent: Tidbury Green Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Green Belt
- Govt consistently committed to protecting Green Belt
- Unmet housing demand unlikely to outweigh harm to GB
- Analysis of GB in Blythe has average score of 7.23, highest for any area in Solihull
- Not accord with NPPF Para. 133-135 as site would not provide sustainable development
- Coalescence with Whitlocks End Farm and Tidbury Green
- Sites in Green Belt Assessment scoring 7 or higher should not be removed from GB
- Council not fully examined infrastructure requirements that would justify & mitigate GB alterations in this area
- Proposal ignores Challenge E 'protect key gaps between urban areas and settlements'
- Even reduced allocation to 350 will have undue impact on integrity of Green Belt & major expansion of Dickens Heath village.
- To protect Tidbury Green from future development pressure, settlement should remain 'washed over Green Belt'.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove part of Site BL1 (south of Tythe Barn Lane) from the plan.
