The site faces some significant constraints. The impact of development on Grimshaw Hall should not be left to a planning application to address. Harm can wholly be avoided at the plan preparation stage, by not allocating the site.

Difficult to see how delivery of 600 across two phases, 0-5 years and 5-10 years will be achieved.
The site, is in fragmented ownership. No evidence that the land parcels will come forward within the timescale identified. The concept masterplan shows a complex area, with several different issues to overcome. These need to be addressed in a coordinated way.
Difficult to see how required Green Belt enhancements could be achieved given the amount of built development being proposed.
Concerns about the development on the southern section of the site given constraints. Capacity of the allocation should therefore be reduced which would allow Green Belt compensation to be provided at source. Further capacity can be found elsewhere in the settlement (e.g. site 199 Land at Four Ashes Road).

Site 199 at Four Ashes Road should be included as an allocation. The site has no heritage constraints, it is within flood zone 1 and apart from Green Belt there are no statutory or non- statutory landscape designations covering the site. It is located to the south western side of Dorridge which has a good range of services and is accessible.
Details of proposals in attached Vision document.
The site is in a sustainable location, with good walking, cycling and public transport connections. The site is available, suitable and achievable. The site assessment for this site is incorrect and its findings are disputed.
