Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9555
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Richard Cobb Planning
Representation Summary:
No. The proposal is a poor strategic decision, it being too far from the centre. There is significant ecological impact the development of this site. The Green Infrastructure map Habitat Distinctiveness 2016 shows that this is an area of High Habitat distinctiveness. These have not been referenced to the masterplans particularly with regard to the 30m buffer around woodland. Solihull's solution seems to be around off setting rather than preserving habitats. There are other smaller sites that have a higher sustainability scoring and a lesser ecological value than Site 3.
