Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9912

Agent: DS Planning
Identified as an employment site in the Solihull local Plan 2013 and a mixed
use site in the SDLP 2016. Would support a mixed use allocation but recent
planning decisions would appear to negate this suggestion.
There is conflict with the employment policy within the SDLP 2016 and the
future balance between employment and housing in the Borough. No indication as to where the B1 uses on site would relocate to.
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
