Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9939

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Generator (Balsall) & Minton

Agent: DS Planning

Representation Summary:

This is not considered an effective approach. Standard Practise is to calculate on number of units. This provides more certainty at the outset of development. A change from this could see an adverse impact on the delivery of affordable housing.
New viability evidence should be carried out to support this new approach.

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
