Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8497

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Simon Taylor

Representation Summary:

- Believe areas surrounding Knowle and Dorridge with washed over status should be reviewed and I also believe the policy around the Meriden Gap should be looked at again. These are both on the basis that the openness of settlements does not in some cases add to the openness of the Green Belt.
- Whilst I agree with the general policy around the Meriden Gap in terms of the demarcation between Solihull and Coventry, I do believe there are significant areas that could be looked at in terms of housing development along the M42 corridor and surrounding Meriden itself.
