- The washed over status should be reviewed in relation to the large area of existing development at Warwick Road, Pool Meadow Close and Riverside Drive. (This relates back to the Green Belt Assessment undertaken by Atkins in 2016 and specifically Refined Parcel 32).
- Widney Manor Road: suggest new boundary to the east of all development fronting Widney Manor Road including the sixth form college up to the Malvern Park boundary but excluding Lovelace Avenue.
- Warwick Road: new boundary from the entrance to Brueton Park adjacent to all development in Oldway Drive/Pool Meadow Close up to the M42 and then along the M42 to the Solihull Bypass, and the Bypass where it joins the existing boundary to the Marie Curie hospital.
- The comment regarding Refined Parcel 31 in the Atkins Green Belt Assessment under Purpose 1 is to be noted. It makes it clear that boundaries are defined by the A41 (bypass) and M42 and hence these boundaries are already recognised as clear boundaries to the proposed removed area.
- The large areas of trees around Riverside Drive do not need Green Belt protection as already protected under other designations.
- Land at Gentleshaw Lane should therefore be brought out of the washed over Green Belt given the inconsistencies embedded in the evidence base underpinning the current consultation.
