Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8298

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

Half of this site scored of 12 in the Atkins assessment and that element cannot be included within the housing allocation. It will irreparably harm the greenbelt, reducing the width of the Meriden gap by 50%. This site was proposed for development in March 2016 by SMBC at a meeting with Berkswell PC before any analysis was undertaken.

Site has huge amenity and wellbeing value to the community through the network of footpaths linked to the Greenway. These are probably the best and most accessible network of footpaths in the borough and no account has been taken of this loss.
