Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7571

Received: 11/03/2019

Respondent: Ms Rebecca Hess

Representation Summary:

Previous Inspections have concluded that the harm caused by removing the area around Widney Manor Road from the Green Belt would not be outweighed by the provision of limited housing on this site, whatever its purpose. Over intensification of development in mature suburbs is short sighted and creates another raft of issues. No exceptional circumstances exist to justify changes to the Green Belt boundaries. The garden grab initiatives that would result would be based on individual profit, rather than thoughtful and responsible planning that should benefit Solihull in future years.
