- Sites to be taken forward, should be assessed against a PPG compliant assessment methodology, which has not been the case in the Council's site selection Framework.
- The Council are deferring the issue of ensuring that there are enough housing allocations to meet the overall housing requirement during the plan period, including that of the WBHMA shortfall. The Council have not included enough amber sites within this consultation process to meet its own need and that within the WBHMA.
- Cerda Planning have applied a PPG compliant assessment procedure to each of the 7 Amber sites and conclude that 5 of the sites should remain as Amber and sites A1 and A4 should become 'red'.
- Site A1 (Land r/o575A and 587 Tanworth lane, Cheswick Green)would form back land development and is not accessible from Tanworth Road. There is new residential development directly to the north of the site (Cheswick Place development).
- Site A4 (Golden End Farm) would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and there are more appropriate sites on which to develop.
