Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8906

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr John Gibbs

Representation Summary:

The SLP Review Draft Proposal for Site 26 states that this site potentially accommodates 1000 dwellings. In effect, Site 26 butts up to the proposed Site 4, forming a single development segmented by the canal. The total size of this combined development would be 1700 dwellings, and remove the green belt region between Shirley and Dickens Heath, and creating virtually a single urban area of these two. The green belt between Shirley and Dickens Heath is there to separate these two communities and ensure green spaces for urban living.
