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.

Three Maypoles Farm Dickens Heath
13.3ha site.
Greenfield site in Green Belt.
Does not reflect character of area, functions as urban fringe.
With careful design could accommodate ca. 175 dwellings or 100 dwelllings plus open space.
Lies immediately south of and partially within Site allocation 13.
Would provide a logical & more robust & defensible GB boundary to Site 13.
Would prevent coalescence with Dickens Heath.
Would ensure conformity with Vision for Solihull Rural area.
GBA score of 6 is equal or lower to allocations.
Accessibility score is comparable with allocations.
See documentation by Define.

Land r/o 2214 Stratford Road (SHELAA 1006).
3.4 ha.
Poor agricultural land quality and urban fringe.
Greenfield within Green Belt, immediately adjacent to Hockley Heath inset area.
Hockley Heath should be included as settlement for growth.
Could accommodate 70-80 dwellings.
Site is close to local centre, primary school and bus service to Solihull and Birmingham.
Well contained. Stronger relationship to character to village than open countryside.
Would assist early delivery of housing in plan period.
Would support existing services.
GBA score equal or lower to many allocated sites.
Accessibility score equal or better to allocated sites.
