Representation Summary:

Alternative Site to be considered, CFS 193:
Performs well in accordance with Council's evidence base:
SHELAA - Site performs well except for achievability. Can confirm that site owned by national Housebuilder, Kier Living, who have delivered housing immediately to west. Site achievable and available at earliest opportunity.
SA - Site identified as Ref. 341 for SA. Scores well against SA objectives, achieves 8 positives (2 of which are significant), 10 neutrals and 1 negative.
Green Belt Assessment - Concludes site only contributes to one of GB purposes, therefore has negligible contribution to GB.
Site Assessment Document - Only negative raised is site’s development would narrow the gap between Marston Green and Chelmsley Wood, contrary to conclusions in GBA. No robust reasoning for site to be excluded from Step 2 in site selection process.
Following sites have much greater constraints and deliverability concerns that CFS 193: BL2, BC1, BC3, BC4, KN2, SO1.

Change suggested by respondent:

Further housing sites, including CFS 193, must be allocated to provide assurances that the minimum housing requirement can be met.
