Paragraph 369 - Why although Catherine de Barnes, Meriden, Hockley Heath, Hampton in Arden are not in Green Belt is there specific mention made about conserving their rural setting and special character when considering development proposals yet with regard to Knowle village with its rural setting and special character Area 9 has been selected to develop 750 homes despite this location being Green Belt.
This is an inconsistent stance to take and entirely at odds with the proposed intention to build in Knowle which has a better case for exclusion of building than the villages identified as being special cases.
