Full text:

1. The Concept Master Plan refers to an Inspectors Report, due to have been released in late 2017. Is this Report available for comment?

2. The 'historic' setting of the Grade II listed Light Hall Farm is being degraded by a high conifer hedge when viewed from Dog Kennel Lane. Will this be reduced to a reasonable height? Otherwise the Developer may say that if you can't see it, we will remove it and build you a dozen starter homes.

3. The proposed road providing a defensible Green Belt boundary to the south of the site is an excellent idea. It will presumably connect with the A34 at the existing roundabout which serves Monkspath Hall Road. My plan for the road is attached and shows connectivity also with Dickens Heath, Site 26 and Whitlocks End Station.

4. The Developers' Proposal Plan is much larger than the SMBC Concept Plan and should be limited to the line of the proposed new road, shown broken line on the attached plan. The Council indicated a site capacity of 850 in their November 2016 DLP.
