Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Question 12 - Site 4 - Land West of Dickens Heath
Representation ID: 9998
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Would result in coalescence between Dickens Heath, Whitlocks End and Majors Green. Site is highly visually sensitive in landscape terms. Development would be an ill-thought out addition to the west of Dickens Heath and have no relationship to the original concept or masterplan. Masterplan makes no reference to how the site would complement or enhance Dickens Heath and it is acknowledged that further work is needed to identify links to the Village Centre.
Site 4 has been dismissed as an allocation numerous times.
No identified sites for the relocation of Sports pitches.
No evidence of highway impact of the development.
This is the response of Stonewater to the supplementary consultation by Solihull
Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The purpose of the response is
to comment the draft Plan and promote the site at the Firs Maxstoke Lane (west of
Meriden proposed allocation site 10) for inclusion as a housing allocation within the
Plan. The response is by question order.
The original response to the Solihull Draft Local Plan 2016 consultation is also
attached which highlights the reasons why the site should be an allocation within the
Local Plan (Site Ref 137).

Question 13 - Site 11 -The Green
Representation ID: 9999
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Identified as an employment site in the Solihull local Plan 2013 and a mixed
use site in the SDLP 2016 (housing and employment). Would support a mixed use allocation but recent planning decisions would appear to negate this suggestion.
There is conflict with the employment policy within the SDLP 2016 and the future balance between employment and housing in the Borough. No indication as to where the B1 uses on site would relocate to

Question 14 - Site 12 - Land South of Dog Kennel Lane
Representation ID: 10000
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Concerns on Green Belt grounds and landscape character sensitivty.
The land has the essential GB character of openness. Open vistas southwards are evident from Dog Kennel Lane.
Development would extend built development out into open countryside.
Constructing a new road to form the Green Belt boundary does not conform to Government policy. Given that the existing field structure does not have a clear contiguous defensible Green Belt boundary to the south, how would coalescence with Cheswick Green be prevented and what impact would there be on openness, developing out into open countryside and impact on landscape character?

Question 15 - Site 26 - Whitlocks End Farm
Representation ID: 10001
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Until the masterplan for site 26 is finalised the issue of coalescence with Majors Green will remain. Until traffic surveys and analysis of the A34 and surrounding roads are completed it is impossible to suggest that Bills Lane/Haslucks Green Road would be any more or less congested than Dickens Heath Road. Dickens Heath Road provides a less onerous, less convoluted and safer route to the A34, the town centres of Shirley and Solihull, the M42 and beyond. Bills Lane and Haslucks Green Road will have to deal with traffic from site 4 as well as its own.

Question 17 - Site 6 - Meriden Road
Representation ID: 10003
Received: 15/03/2019
Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
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 open
space was forthcoming. This situation still exists and so calls into question
the allocation. Also the viability of the site may be affected dependent on any
potential contamination issues as a consequence of the former use of the
site.

Question 18 - Site 24 - Oak Farm

Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Firstly, it is noted and it is agreed that Catherine de Barnes should be a settlement where limited and proportionate development is accepted. New development will assist with the future viability and vitality of such settlements as Catherine de Barnes provided they are proportionate to the settlement, in the right location and contribute to the health and well-being of the community. The site at Oak Farm should be included as an but the allocation should include the land to the east of this proposed allocation and the west of Friday Lane.
