Support release of Green Belt land.
Would like to see housing numbers increased back to 2,000 to enable a sustainable vibrant urban quarter.
Emphasis should be placed on early development opportunities in line with Government and WMCA aims.
Birmingham Airport:
Recognise importance of a successful regional Airport.
Prefer Site 20 area for expansion to east of A452.
Jaguar Land Rover:
Recognise importance of JLR to regional economy.
Development expansion should not be considered in isolation from Airport aspirations.

Additional provision should be made in the policy for 'development that enables and supports the establishment of rural business and in particular those that make
provision for leisure and recreational use of the countryside'.
Fourth paragraph, p.60, should be amended to read:
'The Council will encourage the retention and appropriately sized expansion of small ........'

SHELAA site 128 West of Meriden (Area G).
Disappointed site not included in DLP, particularly as no consultation or opportunity to discuss in advance, or whether a smaller site would be preferable.
Wish to resubmit a smaller site (25 acres) for residential only, but flexible to change.
Currently a depleted quarry going through a transformation of inert refill. Would be possible to ensure backfill was appropriate for future residential development.
Immediately adjacent to Meriden and its facilities, open space, public transport, walking and cycling opportunities.
Minimal visual impact due to existing screening.
No infrastructure or access constraints.
Deliverable years 11-15.

Packington Estate supports the removal of the land from the Green Belt and the allocation of the extended Meriden Road site for housing but does not consider the delivery timescale to be appropriate or justified.

Recognise need for affordable housing, but challenge 50% requirement on 11+ units.
Understand that standard and affordable housing need to be integrated, 50% seems excessive.
May impact viability, could prevent development coming forward.

Policy P10 -
Natural Environment:
Welcome importance being placed on maintaining a healthy, natural environment, which is consistent with Packington Estate's longer stewardship objectives.
Suggest including contribution development (in rural areas and Green Belt) makes to the viability of maintaining landscape biodiversity. Conservation and enhancement cannot take place without income and capital.
Arden Landscape section could be linked to Policy P3.
Arden Landscape, Biodiversity/Geodiversity:
Packington Estate, in particular the Deer Park contribute to the original Forest of Arden landscape. Any expansion east of A452 would negatively impact landscape character, River Blythe SSSI and result in 1000s of mature trees.
