Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9584

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr J Allen

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

Washed over status should be reviewed on land at the northern end of Knowle, Copt Heath much of which is comprehensively developed, has no open character and serves no logical purpose as Green Belt land. Specifically, the land to south of Grove Farm (Site 5) along with the houses which front Jacobean Lane and Warwick Road.
Generalised methodology of the Green Belt assessment means that all sites within a refined parcel are effectively 'tarred with the same brush.' Smaller parcels within them which may not possess the characteristics which are most prevalent within the wider parcel, are effectively scored incorrectly.
