Respondent: Mr Phillip Griffiths

Widney Manor Road
- Strongly object to the possible removal of the Green Belt Status of Widney Manor Road.
- Not clear if the land proposed to be removed is just site 134 or sites 205 and 308 too.
- Do not see how r/o 114-118 Widney Manor Road could provide any compensation provision given its size and shape.
- Paragraph 378 of the consultation document is in contrast to the Solihull Strategic Green Belt Assessment (July 2016). This evidence base has been ignored in the assessment.
-Removal of the Green Belt status would be contrary to: the Solihull LDF Core Strategy Assessment of Green Belt Submission (October 2011); the previous planning application that was refused on the site r/o 114-118 Widney Manor Road in July 2010 and the Appeal decision (APP/Q4625/A/10/2133554)that was dismissed on the site in 2011. The position has not changed since these assessments.
- the embankment and wildlife corridor adjacent to the 'Spinney development' may be adversely affected.
- Proposal would not create a logical roll back of the Green Belt boundary as land to the north and south would remain in Green Belt.
- Exceptional circumstances required by paragraphs 135 and 136 of the NPPF (2019) do not exist.
- Previously developed land excludes residential gardens (paragraph 138 in the NPPF (2019)
