Site 20 will be for additional facilities for Land Rover or their supply chain. Land on the east side of Old Damson Lane through to the Coventry Road will impact significantly on sports clubs which will find it difficult to relocate.
The allocation of land on the east side of Old Damson Lane would into more open land over the ridge line and into areas of woodland.
Old Damson Lane would be a more defensible Green Belt Boundary and protect the character and appearance of the area as a gateway into the conurbation.

No objection to the allocation, although it would encroach into the Meriden Gap.

There is only one site allocated in the Draft Local Plan for employment purposes. Site 87 should be allocated as an employment site. Similar Green Belt Assessment score to site 19.
it is a degraded site and not open countryside or agricultural land. Some of the site is a potential location for an alternative site for the Moat Lane Council Depot should that be released for residential development.
There is a good and unique case for developing the site as part of the wider Solihull Gateway concept and UK Hub Growth Area.
