Objection to Site BC3 - Fails 3 out 4 Tests of Soundness
I wish to formally object to Site BC3 Windmill Lane/Kenilworth Road and ask that it is removed from the Solihull Draft Submission Local Plan and Final Local Plan.
The Draft Submission Local Plan is not sound, in proposing the allocation of Site BC3 for housing, as it fails to comply with 3 of the 4 tests of Soundness:
1) Positively Prepared:
The plan has not been positively prepared in that it is not practical to deliver the unmet need of the HMA (2105 units). NPPF para. 11 has not been given due consideration. To build 4410 units on Green Belt Land (greenfield) and 1195 in the Meriden Gap is not required in order to comply with planning policy. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Site BC3 specifically is not sustainable using the Council’s own criteria.
2) Justified:
The allocation of site BC3 has not been justified. There are omission sites both within Balsall Common and in the wider borough which either should have been allocated, based on merit, or for which the omission has not been justified. Moreover, the findings from the final version of the masterplan for Solihull Town Centre are not incorporated and cannot be reconciled with the Draft Local Plan.
3) Consistent with National Policy:
There are inconsistencies with the NPPF. Specifically paragraphs 11; 94; 108; 109; 122; 138; 185 and 194 are not complied with. As such, the enabling of sustainable development will not be delivered should Site BC3 remain in the Draft Local Plan.

As an academic historian I would like to underline the need to preserve precious artefacts from the past. The Berkswell Windmill is not only the building but also the conserved working mechanisms within, which are a tribute to traditional forms of engineering. I know the windmill itself is not threatened but its immediate environment is. To preserve this unique feature at its best it is necessary to protect the surroundings in order to be able to appreciate its original context as much as possible.

Policy BC3 - Kenilworth Road/Windmill Lane, Balsall Common section of the plan states that
‘558. Whilst the site does not perform well in the Sustainability Appraisal, with twice as many negative effects as positive, including one significant negative effect due to the distance to the key economic assets, much of the adverse effects relating to ecology, landscape, green infrastructure, historic assets and amenity can be mitigated with the more modest capacity now proposed’.
There is no detailed information or assessment of how this impact could be mitigated in the section of the plan. The policy proposes ‘creation of a significant corridor of public open space between the
development and the Relief Road. However public open space would most likely not provide suitable land for ecology and flora and fauna to thrive.
There is concern that the analysis in the Sustainability appraisal has not informed the plan making. As negative results have been discarded and sites seem to have been allocated without exploring alternative sites with less of an environmental assessment in detail.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to object to the proposed development of site BC3. I am disappointed to see that this continues to be presented as a viable option despite local opposition, alternative sites in Brownfield and National Pledges from the Conservatives to not build on Greenbelt. Having listened to the Solihull Council meeting online where this was discussed, I feel extremely let down by local MPs who were unhappy with suggesting this site but appeared to vote in favour of a substandard Local Plan as they needed to meet a deadline. I believe that the proposed site fails to meet the requirements needed for it to be viable as outlined below.
We are extremely concerned by the loss of natural habitat, the influx of traffic onto Windmill Lane which is already a notorious rat run and the lack of facilities that we already suffer from. At present, the doctors fails to provide appointments for the current population, the roads are congested and the infrastructure cannot cope. The amount of housing proposed generally in Balsall Common will make it impossible for our village to function properly.
Objection to Site BC3 - Fails 3 out 4 Tests of Soundness
I wish to formerly object to Site BC3 Windmill Lane/Kenilworth Road and ask that it is removed from the Solihull Draft Submission Local Plan and Final Local Plan.
The Draft Submission Local Plan is not sound, in proposing the allocation of Site BC3 for housing, as it fails to comply with 3 of the 4 tests of Soundness:
1) Positively Prepared:
The plan has not been positively prepared in that it is not practical to deliver the unmet need of the HMA (2105 units). NPPF para. 11 has not been given due consideration. To build 4410 units on Green Belt Land (greenfield) and 1195 in the Meriden Gap is not required in order to comply with planning policy. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Site BC3 specifically is not sustainable using the Council’s own criteria.
2) Justified:
The allocation of site BC3 has not been justified. There are omission sites both within Balsall Common and in the wider borough which either should have been allocated, based on merit, or for which the omission has not been justified. Moreover, the findings from the final version of the masterplan for Solihull Town Centre are not incorporated and cannot be reconciled with the Draft Local Plan.
3) Consistent with National Policy:
There are inconsistencies with the NPPF. Specifically paragraphs 11; 94; 108; 109; 122; 138; 185 and 194 are not complied with. As such, the enabling of sustainable development will not be delivered should Site BC3 remain in the Draft Local Plan.

I wish to formerly object to Site BC3 Windmill Lane/Kenilworth Road and ask that it is removed from the
Solihull Draft Submission Local Plan and Final Local Plan.
The Draft Submission Local Plan is not sound, in proposing the allocation of Site BC3 for housing, as it fails
to comply with 3 of the 4 tests of Soundness:
1) Positively Prepared:
The plan has not been positively prepared in that it is not practical to deliver the unmet need of the HMA
(2105 units). NPPF para. 11 has not been given due consideration. To build 4410 units on Green Belt Land
(greenfield) and 1195 in the Meriden Gap is not required in order to comply with planning policy.
Moreover, it is demonstrated that Site BC3 specifically is not sustainable using the Council’s own criteria.
2) Justified:
The allocation of site BC3 has not been justified. There are omission sites both within Balsall Common and
in the wider borough which either should have been allocated, based on merit, or for which the omission
has not been justified. Moreover, the findings from the final version of the masterplan for Solihull Town
Centre are not incorporated and cannot be reconciled with the Draft Local Plan.
3) Consistent with National Policy:
There are inconsistencies with the NPPF. Specifically paragraphs 11; 94; 108; 109; 122; 138; 185 and 194
are not complied with. As such, the enabling of sustainable development will not be delivered should Site
BC3 remain in the Draft Local Plan.

>Wishes to preserve the biodiverse rich habitat that is Site BC3 and protect the character of the Grade II Listed Berkswell Windmill.
I am writing to object to the proposed development of site BC3. I am disappointed to see that this continues to be presented as a viable option despite local opposition, alternative sites in Brownfield and National Pledges from the Conservatives to not build on Greenbelt. Having listened to the Solihull Council meeting online where this was discussed, I feel extremely let down by local MPs who were unhappy with suggesting this site but appeared to vote in favour of a substandard Local Plan as they needed to meet a deadline. I believe that the proposed site fails to meet the requirements needed for it to be viable as outlined below.
We are extremely concerned by the loss of natural habitat, the influx of traffic onto Windmill Lane which is already a notorious rat run and the lack of facilities that we already suffer from. At present, the doctors fails to provide appointments for the current population, the roads are congested and the infrastructure cannot cope. The amount of housing proposed generally in Balsall Common will make it impossible for our village to function properly.

I wish to formally object to Site BC3 Windmill Lane/Kenilworth Road and ask that it is removed from the Solihull Draft Submission Local Plan and Final Local Plan.
The Draft Submission Local Plan is not sound, in proposing the allocation of Site BC3 for housing, as it fails to comply with 3 of the 4 tests of Soundness:
1) Positively Prepared:
The plan has not been positively prepared in that it is not practical to deliver the unmet need of the HMA (2105 units). NPPF para. 11 has not been given due consideration. To build 4410 units on Green Belt Land (greenfield) and 1195 in the Meriden Gap is not required in order to comply with planning policy. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Site BC3 specifically is not sustainable using the Council’s own criteria.
2) Justified:
The allocation of site BC3 has not been justified. There are omission sites both within Balsall Common and in the wider borough which either should have been allocated, based on merit, or for which the omission has not been justified. Moreover, the findings from the final version of the masterplan for Solihull Town Centre are not incorporated and cannot be reconciled with the Draft Local Plan.
3) Consistent with National Policy:
There are inconsistencies with the NPPF. Specifically paragraphs 11; 94; 108; 109; 122; 138; 185 and 194 are not complied with. As such, the enabling of sustainable development will not be delivered should Site BC3 remain in the Draft Local Plan.
