Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9134

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr John Allen

Representation Summary:

I object to any incursion into the green belt. Part of the housing numbers needed in Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath relate to the 'Wider Market Housing Area' requirement. There are plenty of derelict land areas available in Birmingham and these should be used first to accommodate Birmingham's housing requirements before greenbelt land is built on. SMBC should make a stand on this issue.
