Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8599

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Paul & Anne Wilson Ramsay

Representation Summary:

- Insufficient brownfield sites allocated of 35 ha (p84) within the borough for housing. More brownfield sites should be allocated.
- Kingshurst Village Centre has no masterplan, and future housing proposals are not provided.
- Majority of residential sites allocated in the plan are located within green belt of 379 ha (p84).
- Atkins Green belt assessment in support of SMBC allocated residential sites is flawed. As a result some sites have already been redesignated as brownfield sites by SMBC, when they are clearly located within green belt, including Lansdowne House in Site 9 South of Knowle.
