Representation ID: 9909

Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton
Agent: DS Planning
The proposed amendment to the Green Belt boundary on the eastern side of Balsall Common will have significant implications for development over and above the allocations proposed. Lifting Green Belt restrictions on land will put considerable pressures for development and the future growth of Balsall Common and its elevation in settlement hierarchy within the Borough with insufficient consideration on how this will be dealt with within this supplementary consultation.
Also, part of the proposed allocation sites and those areas not allocated for development lie within the highest performing area within the Green Belt Assessment.
This is the response of Generator Group and Minton to the supplementary
consultation by Solihull Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The
purpose of the response is to comment on the draft Plan and promote the site on land adj Harpers Field, Kenilworth Road Balsall Common for inclusion as a housing
allocation within the Plan. The response is by question order. Whilst we have
responded to each question, the detailed points in relation to our site are set out under question 39 and your attention is specifically drawn to this part of the response. It should be noted the site is developer owned and delivery of the site can therefore come forward early in the plan period
