Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9937

Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton
Agent: DS Planning
Site 338-Land adj Harpers Field, Balsall Common
Other sites appear to be reliant on delivery of HS2 or the Bypass.
Site 3 would stretch much further south and have greater impact on Green Belt.
Site 338 only fails on the lack of defensible Green Belt boundaries to the south and west. This is disputed.
The site is no further from the centre than the sites allocated in the 2013 Local Plan.
Site assessment is incorrect as there is a footpath alongside the site.
Green Belt Assessment conclusions are disputed as the site context has changed.
Site easy to deliver.
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
