Representation ID: 8558
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: SMBC Strategic Land and Property Team - Site S02
Agent: Cushman and Wakefield
Release of this land provides opportunity for development, alternative to residential use, to help meet development needs of the Borough. Site PO5 is based in a central location of Chelmsley Wood with existing road infrastructure connecting the site along the A452 to M6 junction 4 and M42 junction 7A. Site is within walking distance of the following services and amenities, Chelmsley Wood Town Centre, a bus stop for 4 services to Birmingham, Kingstanding and Solihull. Marsden Green train station, Birmingham Airport and train station are within 3 miles of the site. Due to the sites close proximity to an established road network, local facilities and services, along with the low grade Green Belt land surveyed as part of the supporting evidence to the Draft Local Plan Review (DLP, 2016), it is considered to be a sustainable location for development. The site has a green belt score of 5 (worse performing) in terms of GB accessibility.
