Draft Local Plan Review

Q14. Do you agree that we are planning to build the right number of new homes? If not why not, and how many do you think we should be planning to build?

Representation ID: 3230

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Arden Wood Shavings Ltd

Agent: Stansgate Planning LLP

Representation Summary:

The housing requirement figure of 15,029 additional homes does not respond sufficiently to the unmet need from the Greater Birmingham housing market area. Whilst the distribution of the full shortfall of 37,900 has yet to be established, other authorities within the housing market area consider the contribution in the Draft Local Plan of 2,000 houses is inadequate. Further work is yet to take place to establish the distribution of the unmet need and is likely to report in Autumn 2017. The Local Plan Review should allow flexibility to address this without further Plan or Green Belt review.

Q23. Are there any other comments you wish to make on the Draft Local Plan?

Representation ID: 3238

Respondent: Arden Wood Shavings Ltd

Agent: Stansgate Planning LLP

Representation Summary:

The Local Plan Review evidence base generally supports the allocation of site 6 but underestimates its benefits within a sustainable settlement with services and facilities in easy reach, which offers planning gain from removal of the existing use, firm defensible Green Belt boundary following physical features with visual enhancement potential. The SHELAA suitability assessment does not accurately reflect the site's suitability, as there is no known contamination/landfill, no explanation is provided re ground conditions or bad neighbour constraints and it is not a builders yard, and the EA flood map shows only 1% of the site within zone 3.
