Site 244 - Land at Tilehouse Green - Copt Heath Golf Course
The site is located immediately adjacent to the built up area of Knowle and straddles the Green Belt boundary around the settlement. The southern half of the site is located within the settlement outside the Green Belt and the northern half is situated in the Green Belt, in a lower preforming parcel. Whilst there no permanent physical features that would easily define a new boundary, the site is well-contained and there appears to be strong field boundaries. The site has few constraints and represents a logical 'rounding off' to this part of the settlement. The golf course to the north and west would prevent further expansion into the countryside. The site has a medium level of accessibility and is in an area with medium landscape character sensitivity. This site should be elevated to amber if not green

Site 238 - Redwoods Wootton Green Lane
Disagree with Site Assessment - Site is within moderately performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment, is small and would round off development on south side of Wootton Green Lane. Site has a medium level of accessibility, is in an area of high visual sensitivity with capacity for change having regard to Trevallion Stud etc on the north side.. The SA identifies 5 positive and 6 negative effects. Settlement is identified for significant growth, and site would have defensible green belt boundary

Site 142 and 233 - Grange Farm, Balsall Common
Site is within moderately performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment, and would result in an defensible boundary to north and west particularly if a link road were proposed to take traffic across to the A452 from Balsall Street . Site has a medium level of accessibility, is in an area of high visual sensitivity with very low capacity for change and is deliverable. The SA identifies 6 positive and 7 negative effects Settlement identified as suitable for significant expansion, and site could have a defensible green belt boundary. Better to develop on the west side of Balsall Common than the east side with adequate space to develop new centre

Site 86 - Land at Old Station Road Hampton in Arden
Site is recognised as brownfield land on the Register and within a lower performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment, but site is not isolated with existing development to the south and west which would result in an a defensible boundary. The site has a medium level of accessibility, is within a area of medium landscape sensitivity with low capacity for change, and is suitable for development. The site should be elevated to amber if not green

Site 83 - Land at Catherine de Barnes
Site assessment is incorrect. Land is clearly shown outside of Green Belt on previous proposal maps, but site assessment puts it into the Green Belt without justification. Site is bounded by Canal and common land to the north, both defensible boundaries.
Site should be elevated to green or amber

Site 422 - Land at Rose Bank, Balsall Street
Site is within moderately performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment, although it is small but would result boundaries to the south and west which are as defensible as many other sites identified for release. Site has a medium level of accessibility, is in an area of high visual sensitivity with very low capacity for change and is deliverable. Balsall Common is identified as suitable for significant expansion, the site is noted as being suitable for consideration as a windfall site, and should be elevated to green or amber

Site 92 - New Mercote Farm Kenilworth Road
Having regards to the previous comments on the need for more employment land in Balsall Common, this site was promoted for that purpose. Site is well contained by the road and rail corridor, and is no more or less isolated from the settlement than other sites being released to the south of the village centre. Site has a good level of accessibility, is in an area of high visual sensitivity with capacity for change. Balsall Common is identified as suitable for significant expansion, and this site would provide a high profile business site for employment in the expanding settlement. Site should be elevated to green or amber

Site 91 - Home Farm Berkswell
Site is within highly performing parcel in the Green Belt Assessment, would result in defensible boundaries, and is a natural extension to the existing business park providing local employment ion the local rural community. Site has good level of accessibility, and Balsall Common is identified as suitable for significant expansion. In the absence of the Council providing no new employment sites this site expands on an existing provision. Site should be elevated to green or amber
