Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8003

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Stuart Woodhall

Representation Summary:

No
New developments at Dickens Heath ( Site 4 ) will reduce further the open countryside gap to Shirley coupled with the new site 26 leaves just the previous site 13 now designated POS as the only green space but is at risk of wash over until long term protection
Even with site 13 removed a disproportionate 38% of the total borough allocations reside in Blythe villages.
This also does not support any HS2 argument as Shirley is almost as far across the borough as you can get from the proposed HS2 stations before your enter Bromsgrove and Birmingham boundaries
