The site at Golden End Farm (ref A4) should be omitted.
It is "high performing Green Belt" score 11.SMBC stated at a meeting of KDBH forum on 27 February that you could achieve your house building target by 2030 without using this land. NPPF February 2019 Para 136 requires that ..."Green Belt boundaries should only be altered where exceptional circumstances are fully evidenced and justified" which SMBC have not done. Knowle is being unfairly burdened with too many development sites. Traffic in Knowle High Street is congested at peak hours and parking is difficult.
