Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8304

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Andrew Burrow

Representation Summary:

Almost all of this land scored 12 in the Atkins greenbelt study. Consequently, it makes the highest contribution possible to the purposes of the greenbelt, It is also a key part of the narrowest part of the Meriden Gap. As such its removal is totally contrary to policy both NPPF and Solihull's. Its proposed removal looks so contrary to the evidence that it makes the SMBC approach look predetermoned around having a bypass that itself has not been justified in the draft plan.

Most this area of land forms part of the setting of the historic and listed Berkswell windmill.
