Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 9996
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
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 Stonewater to the supplementary consultation by Solihull
Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The purpose of the response is
to comment the draft Plan and promote the site at the Firs Maxstoke Lane (west of
Meriden proposed allocation site 10) for inclusion as a housing allocation within the
Plan. The response is by question order.
The original response to the Solihull Draft Local Plan 2016 consultation is also
attached which highlights the reasons why the site should be an allocation within the
Local Plan (Site Ref 137).
