Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6644

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: J D Green

Representation Summary:

Site needs to be removed or reduced considerably to avoid over development of Green Belt land in the Blythe Area, flooding, unacceptable impacts on infrastructure and on amenity issues.
With the large number of homes being built in the HS2 area, part of Blythe Valley Business Park being used for housing, together with 2,600 plus homes built in the A34 corridor over the past two years, there is no need for such large scale destruction of Green Belt land in the area.

I am very grateful that Allocation 13 has been removed from The Plan but very disappointed that a new site (Site 26) has been introduced.


Iknow Allocation 13 had a number of issues that really meant it should not have been in the draft plan in the first place. But an equally important issue is the over development of Green Belt land in the Blythe Valley Villages Area wh ich is still far too high .

Site 26 needs to be removed or reduced considerably to avoid the flooding, infrastructure and lack of amenity issues. Similarly Sites 4 and 12 should be removed or considerably reduced to avoid the same issues.


With the large number of homes being built in the HS2 area and part of the Blythe Valley Business Park being used for housing, together with the 2,600 plus homes built on the A34 corridor over the past two years, there is no need for such large scale destruction of Green Belt land in the Blythe Valley Villages area of Shirley, Cheswick Green, Dickens Heath and Tidbury Green.


Using part of site 11 for Car Showrooms instead of housing is really very bad planning and I believe that if all of site 11 had been used for housing, then, coupled with the developments mentioned above there really would be no need whatsoever for sites 4,12 or 26 to go ahead.


I think any independent inspection of the Plan will conclude that the current proposals are not only unfair but also very unreasonable
