Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 14900

Received: 11/12/2020

Respondent: West Midlands Police

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

- West Midlands Police has a statutory duty to secure maintenance of efficient and effective police force for its area
- Council statutorily required to consider crime, disorder and community safety in exercise of its duties, with aim to reduce crime.
- NPPF and PPG refer to designing out crime, supporting safe communities, working with police and security agencies, importance of considering and addressing crime and disorder, and fear of crime.
- PPG provides for planning obligations in policy requirements, understanding infrastructure evidence and costs and guidance for CIL.
- Vital that Police are not deprived of legitimate sources of funding so they’re not under-resourced
- If additional infrastructure for WMP is not provided, then Police’s ability to provide a safe and appropriate level of service will be seriously impacted by level of growth in the DSP.
- Important to note that increase in local population or number of households does not directly lead to an increase in central government funding or local taxation.
- Viability Assessment shows that police contributions are viable.
- Considered therefore contributions to policing are essential for delivery of DSP, and should be expressly stated in site policies and P21, not just Draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
- Site policies should include more social infrastructure, such as ‘emergency services’ within likely infrastructure requirements, as within 2013 Local Plan.
- Site policies are unsound without reference to need for financial contributions to police infrastructure in list of ‘likely infrastructure requirements’
- Site policies are unsound without cross-referencing need to comply Policy P15
- Site policies are contrary to the requirements of NPPF Para.’s 34, 91, 95 and 127f) and PPG Para: 004 ID: 23b-004-20190901, Para: 017 ID: 25-017-20190901, and Para: 144 ID: 25-144-20190901.

Change suggested by respondent:

- An additional sub-paragraph to be included under Paragraph “Development of this site should be consistent with the principles of the Concept Masterplan for this site, which includes the following”:
‘Create a place which is safe with a strong sense of identity, incorporating high quality design which meets ‘Secured by Design’ standards to reduce crime and the fear of crime and to this end applicants are encouraged to engage with the West Midlands Crime Prevention Advisor at the earliest opportunity.’

- An additional sub-paragraph to be included Paragraph “Likely infrastructure requirements will include”:
Developer contributions to Police infrastructure to ensure an appropriate level of service can be maintained so that crime and disorder, and the fear of crime, do not undermine the quality of life or community cohesion.

Respondent: Kier Living Ltd - Coleshill Road

Agent: Mr Hywel James

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Site has several constraints that will compromise deliverability and capacity as set out in DSP:
- Located in lower performing parcel in the Green Belt and a mineral safeguarding area.
- Whilst this site is located within Balsall Common, a settlement identified for significant growth, it is preferable for development to be on land that is more highly accessible.
- Site Assessment document concludes that this site has a low level of accessibility.
SA - 4 positive effects and 6 negative with the most significant negative effect being the distance to key
economic assets.
Developability:
Council’s own evidence base identifies that there are a number of constraints, including ecology and heritage, to overcome, which raises significant doubts regarding the suitability of this site for housing.

Change suggested by respondent:

Further housing sites, such as the CFS 193, must be allocated to provide assurances that the
minimum housing requirement can be met.

i am writing to object to the inclusion of site BC3 as like BC2 it is on the very outskirts of the village and therefore not convenient for many of the amenities and therefore not sustainable.
There are better sites some of which are brownfield that have not been included.
Site BC3 has the added drawbacks for development of the proximity to the windmill and the habitat for many species of wildlife which all should be protected.

Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 15175

Received: 07/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Helen Bruckshaw

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The Forward mentions peoples wellbeing - having so many new homes in Shirley (between Bills Lane and Tanworth Lane) is not taking into consideration the wellbeing of existing or new residents. It is disproportionate for that area to have so many homes -congested roads, pollution, loss of green space etc will have a negative effect on wellbeing.

Change suggested by respondent:

The new properties should be shared out around the borough, it is disproportionate for the size and population of Shirley to have so many new homes.

Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 15196

Received: 05/11/2020

Respondent: Mr David Bell

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

My objections at the start of the process remain that sites 2 and 3 were so far from the centre of the village and the station and that as agreed by most residents and the parish council the boundary of the green belt should be Balsall St East. With site 2 should it proceed the new houses should be set back from the rear gardens of houses to the main road. Access is recognised as a concern but no information is forthcoming as to the required second access.

Change suggested by respondent:

That the green belt boundary should be Balsall St and Balsall st east

As highlighted on pg. 19 of the 2020 Archaeological Assessment undertaken by the Warwickshire County Council Archaeological Information and Advice team on behalf of SMBC*, this site has significant archaeological potential. This potential, and the need for further archaeological assessment in advance of the submission of any planning application is not referenced in this policy. As the results of the assessment may influence the final form of the development across this area, it should be.

Change suggested by respondent:

The policy should reference the significant archaeological potential of this area and highlight that, prior to the submission of any planning application, a detailed archaeological assessment, including evaluative fieldwork, should be undertaken. It should further advise that results of the assessment should inform the development of a strategy, if appropriate, to mitigate the potential archaeological impact of the proposed development and that this strategy may include designing the development to avoid impacting any archaeological features present which are worthy of conservation.

This will help to ensure that any application is submitted with sufficient archaeological information to enable a reasoned and informed planning decision to be made.
