Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8271

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Richard Batchelor

Representation Summary:

Widney Manor Road
Changing the status would give developers a way in
Planning permission for development of the land behind 114-118 Widney Manor Road was refused in 2010. The traffic considerations in that appeal were not considered significant, but the situation in the road needs more detailed assessment before any development is considered.
It is good to see that the land to the east of the road remains in the green belt and forms a green corridor out of town maintaining the "urbs in rure" spirit of Solihull. Development such as that suggested by Rainier Developments - see https://www.rainierdevelopments.co.uk/strategic-land/widney-manor-road-solihull/ should be non-starters.
