Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd
The spatial strategy is well thought out and will assist in delivering a wide range of homes across the Borough It will also will allow the authority to make the most of the urban edge of urban sites to make the best use of previously developed land, whilst protecting and minimising the need to encroach into the Green Belt. However, there will be a need to release some lower performing areas of Green Belt to meet the housing need across the HMA in order to meet the authorities own needs as well as overspill from elsewhere within the HMA.

Agree with Policy P2. It would allow the role of the centres to be strengthened as well as safeguarding their character and appearance. The introduction of residential growth within Solihull centre is considered to be in accordance with the NPPF and the creation of sustainable places would go some way to assist the authority with the provision of their housing need in a sustainable location with good access to jobs, public transport and all other facilities to reduce the need to travel.

Representation ID: 4831

Respondent: Kler Group - Gentleshaw Lane
Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd
The proposals to amend Policy P4 (a) to change the threshold to 11units or more is justified and consistent with the PPG and is supported given the Government's changes to national planning guidance in respect of thresholds at which affordable housing may be sought. This prevents contributions being sought for developments of 10 units or less.
