Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1694

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Dan Salt

Representation Summary:

The development of green belt land in Balsall Common to my mind does not qualify special circumstances as Solihull has not illustrated why. Removal of a vast swathe of the quotably important Merdien Gap at Barratts Farm is not in agreement with the national or local guidelines on protecting the green belt. What does Government think of the proposed destruction of the green belt? This proposal needs to be escalated and ratified by the highest national powers if we as residents are to believe the circumstances are special enough to build over a 1000 homes on virgin green belt.
