Representation Summary:

Support allocation BC1 in principle, but object to quantum of development which conflicts with national policy to make effective use of land. Archdiocese of Birmingham land should not be public open space as not justified by evidence and not achievable. Land previously identified for low density development in Supplementary Draft 2019 and land is suitable for specialist housing and care
home bedspaces for older people. Change due to Heritage Impact Assessment, although land not part of immediate surroundings of a listed building, there is no visual connection, findings from Berkswell NDP show not valued landscape. The Concept Masterplan is unjustified, unsound and not part of Plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

The number of dwellings allocated in Policy BC1 should be amended to reflect the capacity of land at Meeting House Lane for development. The Concept Masterplan should be included in the Plan, and be amended to include the land at Meeting House Lane for specialist housing and care home bedspaces for older people in accordance with the evidence within the HIA and the requirements of Policy P4E.
