Representation ID: 4121
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Trustees of the Berkswell Estate
Agent: Richard Cobb Planning
SHELAA Site 92, New Mercote Farm
Disagree with SHELAA on achievability; new traffic island at junction of Park Lane and A452 is included in HS2 proposals to start in Q3 2017.
No hard constraints.
13ha. Site is available, suitable and deliverable for meeting economic and/or housing development needs in Rural East of Solihull.
Broad Green Belt assessment does not consider the specific nature and character of the individual sites such as this, e.g. bounded by A452 and West Coast Main line.
Should have been assessed in Sustainability Appraisal.
Should be considered for allocation.
Preferable to Site 2 at Frog Lane.
Please find attached letters prepared on behalf of the Trustees of the Berkswell Estate in respect
1) land at New Mercote Farm, Balsall Common.
and 2) land at Coventry Road, Berkswell.
