  • Parish Council Response to Review
    Mrs. Marie Zizzi Clerk to the Council Cheswick Green Village Hall Cheswick Way, Cheswick Green Solihull B90 4JA Tel: 01564 700168 [email protected] www.cheswickgreen-pc.gov.uk Mr. Gary Palmer Planning & Transport Policy Manager Policy & Spatial Planning - Managed Growth Directorate Solihull MBC By email 27th January 2017 Dear Gary, CGPC response to Solihull Local Plan Review Cheswick Green Parish Council has several concerns regarding the proposals for housing sites in the local plan review. Members are aware of the pressures nationally to build more homes, but are very uneasy that most sites currently chosen in the review are in the green belt. Members of the Parish Council understands Solihull must find extra sites for homes by 2033 and that there is only a limited amount of brownfield land available for development within the borough. The Parish Council is extremely disturbed regarding the overwhelming number of houses that are proposed within a relatively small area of the Blythe ward and its immediate neighbours. It would appear they amount to around 41% of the total extra homes to be found in this revision of the local plan. Whilst we are aware that some parts of the borough are already fully built up, this does seem rather a disproportionate percentage to inflict on such a small part of the borough which is already subject to other large housing developments. Cheswick Green Parish is at present seeing the number of dwellings being more than doubled with the developments on the Mount Dairy Farm site and in Blythe Valley Park, which have either commenced or have received outline planning permission.

  • Your Draft Local Neighbourhood Plan A
    Mrs Marie Zizzi Clerk to the Council Cheswick Green Village Hall Cheswick Way, Cheswick Green Solihull B90 4JA Tel: 01564 700168 [email protected] www.cheswickgreen -pc.gov.uk Your Draft Local Neighbourhood Plan A consultation How do you want your area to look in the future? More Housing? Protected Green Belt and countryside? Medical facilities? School? Employment? Social facilities? Play and sport facilities? Roads and footpaths? Other facilities? Please let us have your comments and ideas using the attached response sheet. Then please attend one of the consultation meetings which will be held to discuss these responses. The Parish Council needs and will value your views, which are vital to develop the Plan, which will influence Solihull Borough Council's future plans for the Borough Cheswick Green Neighbourhood Plan Cheswick Green Parish, prior to the new developments. THIS IS IMPORTANT Planning affects all of us. You will have seen the new housing being built off Tanworth Lane, and have heard of the approval for many hundreds of new houses at Blythe Valley, adjacent to Illshaw Heath. These will double the number of households in Cheswick Green since 2016. And Solihull Council’s new house building ambitions don’t end there. North of Cheswick Green Village, approaching 2000 more houses are proposed either side of Dog Kennel Lane and off Tanworth Lane/Dickens Heath Road. Cheswick Green Parish Council believes this proposed vast increase will cause harm to area and cause serious problems for most of us who live here. The two maps illustrate the likely impact. The Parish Council will continue to oppose harmful new development, but wants to ensure that the community supports and backs this action.

  • Greater Birmingham HMA Strategic Growth Study
    8 STRATEGIC GREEN BELT REVIEW Approach and Methodology Background and Study Approach 8.1 In the context of seeking to address the shortfall in housing need across the HMA, this section moves on to present a strategic review of the Green Belt. 8.2 A significant proportion of the land in the HMA Area outside the built-up areas is covered by Green Belt policy, requiring the demonstration of Exceptional Circumstances through Local Plan Review for any alterations to be made to its extent. 8.3 The West Midlands Green Belt was created following the publication of Circular 42/55 which invited local planning authorities to consider the establishment of Green Belts in their development plans. As in other parts of the country, the designation of Green Belt was a reaction to the urban sprawl along transport corridors along with growing car ownership increasing the accessibility of rural areas. Land had already been bought by local authorities on the edge of the major urban areas to prevent further outward sprawl, when, in the early 1960s there were proposals for a Green Belt around the Birmingham conurbation. 8.4 Green Belt proposals were put forward as amendments to development plans but remained formally unapproved until 1975, when the Secretary of State approved the West Midlands Green Belt, although a quarter remained ‘interim’ and was only introduced in later reviews of structure and local plans. The West Midlands Green Belt covers approximately 900 square miles and extends between 6 and 15 miles from the built edge of the conurbation, surrounding and abutting a number of towns and cities: Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Redditch, Cannock, Coventry, Lichfield, Tamworth, Rugby, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick/Leamington, Bridgnorth and Telford (Figure 24).

  • Cheswick Green Neighbourhood Plan Individuals Survey 2018 Part 2 Literals
    Cheswick Green Neighbourhood Plan Individuals Survey 2018 Part 2 Literals "Q5" If Government policy changes in the future and as a result further housing development may be required in the Parish, do you have suggestions as to where such development might be located? Please use the box below for your answer. In the Monkspath industrial estate, instead of more car show rooms or offices It has to be close to existing wide roads and within short distance of A34 current B roads are overloaded and pavements are too narrow/insufficient. I am already trapped on my drive during rush hours No In filling should be prioritised over taking green belt land We do not want the area to be congested. We prefer country style village May place to use as infilling Infill - land not green belt Looking at the map and traffic congestion. I do not know how this is going to be feasible. The obvious solution for me would be to expand the proposed development at Blythe Valley and create a small village there Brownfield sites North of the borough Shirley Golf Club Along the M42 corridor Somewhere with better roads for the amount of traffic and with more amenities As far away from ??? Cheswick Way as possible Not by the irretrievable loss of the very precious green belt areas surrounding Cheswick Green which have already been destroyed Houses should be built in small clusters on land that is either derelict i.e. old factory units or part of farmers’ fields. Eco friendly pre-fab trendy cheap houses that are quick to erect.
