Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 4157

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Severn Trent Water

Agent: GL Hearn

Representation Summary:

SHELAA site 168.
The SHELAA ignores the site's relationship with Blythe Valley Park, both in respect of the BVP allocation and the hybrid planning permission.
It is appropriate to consider the site's GB status in the context of the 'approved' BVP proposals, its relationship to emerging Policy P1A, its potential to contribute to strategic objectives of the DLP and how it may assist delivery of the 'UK Central' masterplan.
The principle of residential development at Illshaw Heath, and its contribution and support to BVP, is already established, as is the principle of adjustments to the GB to meet housing need.

GL Hearn acts on behalf of Severn Trent Water (STW) and is instructed to submit representations to the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Draft Local Plan Review Consultation in respect of its landholding at Illshaw Heath.
These representations follow previous representation to the Scope, Issues and Options Consultation in January 2016.

As we set out within our latest reps, it is unclear whether our Jan 2106 reps have been considered in the preparation of this Reg 18 stage of the Local Plan Review. For the avoidance of doubt therefore we also attached a copy of our previous representation alongside this submission.
Our Jan 2016 representation includes a plan with the STW site shown edged red.

I trust that these representations will be taken into full consideration in the preparation of the next stage of the Local Plan Review
