Concern about ability to bring forward current employment sites at this location within the Plan period and the potential conflict with the employment policy P3 on retention of employment land.
Relocation of employment uses may be an option but to where within Solihull? No indication is given within the Plan of such an option.

Open countryside with no clear, definitive, robust Green Belt boundaries being identifiable, as required by NPPF.
With no clear and firm definitive green belt boundary evident on the allocation plan between Dog Kennel Lane and Cheswick Green it is difficult to assess the level of
housing achievable on this site, a site which could lead to coalescence with Cheswick Green.

Identified as an employment site allocation in the Solihull Local Plan 2013 and again in the Draft Plan 2016 but caveated in respect of a potential mixed use site in the next iteration of the Plan following the preparation of a masterplan.
Considerable doubt therefore exists over the housing numbers identified for this site as well as the potential conflict with employment policy P3.

No definitive firm and logical green belt boundary being identified to the north of the site, west of Hampton Road therefore no conclusions can be drawn on housing numbers.
Loss of sports pitch. No proposed relocation on land to east of Hampton Road.
Therefore difficult to assess overall target housing figure/capacity.

Land to the west of this site was allocated for housing in the 2013 Local Plan on condition that the former ammunition depot was reclaimed for open space or
if not available an alternative development solution delivering additional open space was forthcoming.
This situation still exists and so calls into question the allocation.
Viability may be affected by contamination issues due to previous use.

Loss of sports pitches; no reference to relocation or compensation.
Development would result in coalescence of Dickens Heath with Majors Green which would be contrary to National Green Belt policy.

Although unused this is still a loss of Sports pitches.
Unsure how this impacts on sports provision within Solihull.
No reference directly to relocation or compensation.

Lack of detailed information on:
the remodelling of the road junction;
firm boundary details;
impact on the floodplain;
achievability of a development.
Therefore, difficult to assess the potential success of this site.
