Site selection process has resulted in a disproportionate concentration of new housing (2550 homes) adjacent to the South Shirley Urban Area mainly in Blythe Ward, rather than providing a more even distribution across the borough.
Should have flagged up need for a further assessment stage that limited such a concentration occurring and the adverse impact this would obviously create on the ability of the local infrastructure to assimilate such large scale new development without harming community cohesion.
Allocation of smaller Green Belt sites across the Borough could reduce concentration of housing in the South Shirley & Blythe Villages area.
