Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9880

Respondent: Stephen Dunn
Agent: Sworders
Site selection process appears to be sound to a certain extent. However, step 2 using planning judgement, appears to be too subjective and as such, leads to inexplicable inconsistencies. Paragraph 69 states that there may be some 'exceptional reasons' why certain sites fall into certain categories, however, going through just some of the assessment criteria, the required justifications are not explicit.
Sworders act on behalf of Mr. Stephen Dunn, landowner of Site 110 - Land to the south of 114 Kenilworth Road. The representations are submitted in response to the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council Draft Local Plan Supplementary Consultation, January 2019.
We wish to comment on the following 3 questions:
Question 2: Do you agree with the methodology of the site selection process, if not why not and what alternative/amendment would you suggest?
Question 37: What compensatory provision should be made for land being removed
from the Green Belt? Where relevant give examples that are specific to individual sites proposed for allocation.
Question 39: Are there any red sites which you believe should be included; if so which one(s) and why?
