Agent: DS Planning
Land to the west of this site was allocated for housing in the 2013 Local plan
on condition that the former ammunition depot was reclaimed for open
space or if not available an alternative development solution delivering open
space was forthcoming. This situation still exists and so calls into question
the allocation. Also the viability of the site may be affected dependent on any
potential contamination issues as a consequence of the former use of the
site
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
