Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9756

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: IM Land

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

SHELAA Site 141 should be further considered for allocation.
It can be included within the opportunity area 'South of Birmingham' a broad, non-specific area of land between Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon (location NS5) which was identified as having potential for a new settlement in the GL Hearn Strategic Growth Study 2018.
Site Selection Methodology is flawed and Site should have been considered to Step 2 due to proximity to Earlswood Station.
Could provide up to 500 homes, provide Green Belt compensation, provide 11 ha of open space, provide opportunity for supported uses such as schools, adjacent to underutilised station.
