Objection (Wants site BC3 removed from Solihull Draft Submission Local Plan and Final Local Plan): Fails 3/4 tests of soundness.
> Not positively prepared as it is not practical to deliver the unmet need of the HMA (2105 units). NPPF para. 11 has not been given due consideration.

Omission of sites within Balsall common and in the wider Borough which should have been chosen based on merit or for which the omission has not been justified.

>Inconsistencies with the NPPF, specifically para 1; 94; 108; 109; 122; 138; 185 and 194 are not complied with. Sustainable development will not be complied with if site BC3 remains in the Draft Local Plan.

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 Solihull’s Draft Local Plan and Final Local Plan.
The Draft 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 have not been included. This is due for publication by the year end.
3) Consistent with National Policy:
Inconsistencies with the NPPF are demonstrated throughout this report. 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 protect the bio-diverse rich habitat that is Site BC3 and I also wish to protect the setting and character of the Grade II * Listed Berkswell Windmill.

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 isremoved 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 protect the biodiverse rich habitat that is Site BC3 and I also wish to protect the setting and character of the Grade II * Listed Berkswell Windmill.

The cul de sac road being suggested for access is not level and the width would prohibit maintenance / pedestrian path as required under planning. Also it would create a H&S risk to people abs children living in the cul de sac die to main road fronting onto houses.

Please find below my further objection 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 protect the biodiverse rich habitat that is Site BC3 and I also wish to protect the setting and character of the Grade II * Listed Berkswell Windmill.

I have previously and continue to object to the development on site BC3 and remain astounded that this site continues to be considered for development. National pledges have been made by the Conservative Party to protect Greenbelt land and alternative Brownfield sites have already been put forward as viable alternatives to site BC3. Site BC3 is home to an array of wildlife (of which we have photographic evidence) and this is just one of the many reasons why this site is totally unsuitable for development.
I feel totally let down by our local MPs who have voted in favour of the Local Plan. Below is my formal objection to building on site BC3.
