Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Policy SO1 - East of Solihull
Representation ID: 14018
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: SMBC - Managed Growth & Communities Directorate
Agent: Cushman and Wakefield
The allocation of Site SO1 is sound – positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework. The allocation is accessible, would represent sustainable development and contribute to the Borough’s housing land supply. It is deliverable within Phases I and II of the Plan period (0-10 years). Technical work including a number of site surveys have been undertaken to inform the masterplan work and confirms the proposed allocation of the site for at least 700 dwellings is achievable. We consider the potential for development to impact upon nearby heritage assets and the potential impact of neighbouring towns merging into one another can be mitigated through the masterplan. The site provides a density of 35-40+ dph.
Policy SO1 East of Solihull (and the Summary Table at para 226) and the Concept Masterplan Document, should refer to the site’s capacity being ‘at least’ 700 dwellings.
The Proposed Policies Map, Concept Masterplan document, Site Analysis Plan and Landscape Assessment Plan should be consistent with each other and include the full extent of the proposed allocation, including land north of Lugtrout Lane/Damson Parkway, and the existing residential properties on Hampton Lane, the Grand Union Canal and Field Lane.
Reference within the Concept Masterplan Document to ‘an ecosite (former Pinfold nurseries)’ is not evidenced and should be removed.
