Respondent: Kler Group - Gentleshaw Lane

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

- Update of the evidence base re-enforces and re-supports the allocation of the site.
- Kler Group Ltd have engaged consultants dealing with a range of issues in relation to the site. All the evidence supports inclusion of the site.
- Consider that the housing requirement for Solihull will increase in order to meet requirements of the wider Housing Market area so those already identified will need to increase their effectiveness.
- The Representation gives detailed comment on the draft Concept Masterplan for the site including: (I) Access and Highway Capacity, (ii) Biodiversity (Area mapped as LWS is incorrect),(iii) Landscape and trees and (iv) Heritage.
- Notional yield of 600 houses for the site is low and does not fairly reflect the constraints and opportunities which the site presents
- The Council should re-visit the Concept Masterplans for Site 9 in order identify the actual deliverable yield from the site and in turn inform the residual housing requirement required of the other 'green' proposed allocations.
