Q 38 - Amber Sites

The following amber sites should be included in preference to developing site 26 & site 4.

Land r/o 575A to 587 Tanworth Lane, Cheswick Green
This development takes the form of a back land development with an access onto Tanworth Lane. Therefore development would take place to the rear of existing frontages and would not impact on the openness of the undeveloped Green Belt opposite the site.

Golden End Farm, Kenilworth Road, Knowle
This site is in a very accessible location. Accessibility is good. It is close to the employment development areas of Solihull town centre and UK Central. It would help to spread the burden of housing across the Borough and could be used to relieve the inappropriately high proportion of proposed housing at Blythe Villages which is remote from employment areas.

Land off Blue Lake Road, Dorridge (ref A5)
The site is located a short distance to the east of the centre of Dorridge. Although in a Green Belt parcel this site is lower performing (overall score of 4).
It is close to the employment development areas of Solihull town centre and UK Central. It would help to spread the burden of housing across the Borough and could be used to relieve the inappropriately high concentration proposed housing at Blythe Villages which is remote from employment areas.

Rowood Drive, Solihull (ref A6)
This is site hasn't been used since 2011 for 'little leagues football' and Lode Heath School haven't used the facility since the early 1990's. It is located in the urban area and would be well suited to residential development.

It is close to the employment development areas of Solihull town centre and UK Central. It would help to spread the burden of housing across the Borough and could be used to relieve the inappropriately high concentration proposed housing at Blythe which is remote from employment areas. Its impact on existing infrastructure would be minimal.
