Comment
Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9547
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Richard Lloyd
Representation Summary:
There are a large number of smaller sites around the fringe of the built-up area of Knowle, Dorridge, and Bentley Heath, which would seem to have good accessibility and relatively low impact on the Green Belt.
However, the largest missed opportunity is the rejection of the concept of new settlements. The new settlement opportunity identified in the G L Hearn study falls into the area of Sites 76 and 212 at Mercote. The area is well sited for access to UK Central and the major road network. Good quality high frequency bus services already operate in the area. Area does not have high green belt value and proposal supported by Parish Council.
