The Council deems Call for Sites the most efficient way to select sites; I believe this can mean sites are not chosen because they are the best sites for the local community, but for the benefit of the landowners or developers who own the land.
Particularly building on former Greenbelt land which has been offered by developers will irrevocably change the character of an area from a semi-rural to a built up conurbation.
Specifically building on what is known as Arden Triangle benefits developers and land-owners whilst destroying a green and rural entry, rich in trees and wildlife, into Knowle village centre.
It was queried at the recent consultation meeting at Arden School why land close to the M42 was not being considered - given also that it is near the motorway and would reduce traffic going through the village. Apparently this had not been offered in the Call for Sites.
