Draft Local Plan Review

Q3. Do you agree with the spatial strategy we have set out? If not why not, and what alternative would you suggest?

Representation ID: 3720

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Tidbury Green Golf Club

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

Proposed strategy for housing growth is not sound. Need a range of small, medium and large sites. Concentrating on fewer large sites will result in over-dependence on volume housebuilders, and lower delivery rates.

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: 6070

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Tidbury Green Golf Club

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

Unclear if proposed 2,000 additional units (arising mainly from Birmingham's housing needs) will be sufficient to address the wider HMA shortfall.
Proposal of 2,000 dwellings to contribute to HMA shortfall has not been agreed; may well be subject to pressure from other local authorities to increase.
Contrary to NPPF Para. 47.

Respondent: Tidbury Green Golf Club

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

Land at Tidbury Green Farm.
SHELAA Ref: 209
Meets objectives of Growth Option G.
Sites are deliverable and developable.
Development would extend existing settlement boundary of Tidbury Green.
Would result in clear, defensible Green Belt boundaries.
Compares favourably to proposed allocations: less Green Belt impact, less landscape character impact, higher accessibility, no loss of community facilities.
18.6ha site. Would not require on-site provision of community facilities and services; or loss of existing facilities.
Planning application approved 16/12/16 on PDL part of site.
See attached supporting evidence and studies.
Rejection of site not been justified.

Representation ID: 6073

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Tidbury Green Golf Club

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

Insufficient housing land provided, more Green Belt release required, or at least provide safeguarded sites.
Too many large sites in too few areas have been proposed, contrary to Government's commitment to delivery across range of site sizes.
Will result in disproportionate pressure on services and facilities, and community cohesion.
Better to distribute housing across Borough, particularly close to public transport.
Many proposed sites will result in displacement of community facilities, e.g. sport pitches. VSC for outdoor sport and recreation in Green Belt would be difficult to prove if alternative GB sites available that do not require loss of such facilities.

Draft Local Plan Review

Q18. Do you agree with the policies for improving accessibility and encouraging sustainable travel? If not why not, and what alternatives would you suggest?

Representation ID: 6074

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Tidbury Green Golf Club

Agent: Tyler Parkes Partnership Ltd

Representation Summary:

Policy P7: object to restrictive wording. Prevents a flexible interpretation of sustainable development.
Sustainability is not a formula and suitability of a site for housing development should not be solely measured by distance from high frequency bus stops.
If distance to public transport is included, then should also include proximity to train station, safe cycle and walking routes.
Reword to state: '...unless justified by local circumstances...and investment in improvements to local transport provision, cycling and/or walking measures will be sought in association with development proposals...' to improve accessibility where appropriate.
