Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Local Housing Need
Representation ID: 9295
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Duchy Homes Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Given the findings of the Employment Land Review (2017), we query whether there is adequate evidence regarding employment needs to answer this question.
There is scope for an uplift in the housing requirement as a result of the HS2-related growth, as well the potential to capitalise on the clear need for wider than local employment growth identified through evidence such as the 2015 West Midlands Strategic Employment Site Study (WMSESS), which identifies the M42 corridor as the area of highest demand for strategic industrial and commercial uses (Area A). UPdated WMSESS likely to be published before draft Plan is adopted.

Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Whilst we broadly agree with the methodology, we raise issue with the way this has been applied inconsistently across the borough

Question 22 - Infrastructure Requirements at Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Health
Representation ID: 9297
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Duchy Homes Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Yes, we would agree. Our Site would be able to provide much needed housing within Dorridge, which is in a highly sustainable and accessible location. Furthermore, developer contributions from this development could assist in meeting the infrastructure improvements as identified within the consultation document

Question 23 - Site 8 - Hampton Road
Representation ID: 9298
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Duchy Homes Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Only two sites have been identified for residential development within and around Dorridge (Site 8: Hampton Road, capacity 300-350 and Site 9: Arden Triangle, capacity 600), both of which are large sites. There is no evidence provided on the deliverability of these sites, include the timescales for housing to come forward. However, smaller Sites such as our Client's, are more deliverable within the early years of the Plan. This will help to address the known affordability issues in Dorridge and the wider Borough.

Question 39 - Red Sites
Representation ID: 9300
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Duchy Homes Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
Yes, we consider our Client's Site (Site 1) should be reassessed as a 'green' site in light of the information we have provided in response to question 2. Related to this, the relocation of the village hall from Site 1 to Site 2 should also be assessed as suitable for inclusion within the draft Plan to facilitate this.

Question 40 - Affordable Housing Approach
Representation ID: 9301
Received: 20/03/2019
Respondent: Duchy Homes Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore Planning
This approach would cause uncertainty for developers and the Council and is not likely to work in practice. It would not be clear how much affordable housing which will be delivered through the draft Plan. If the Council allocate sufficient sites which have proportionate evidence regarding their viability and deliverability, this would be the best way of addressing the delivery of much-needed affordable housing.
