Blythe ward Councillor, Keith Green, says ‘enough is enough’ and calls for a Master Plan for Dickens Heath, Tidbury Green and Cheswick Green before new, and prospective development applications are determined.
Blythe ward had three sites in the withdrawn local plan successfully passing through the examination in public and are likely to be determined by Solihull’s planning committee in autumn this year. Keith said ‘There are issues with some of these sites so it is essential we establish a Master Plan for these communities before looking to determine any new applications.’
Recently there has been planning applications for:
200 homes on Arden Greem, off Tilehouse Lane, and 110 homes on land west of Rumbush Lane.
In addition, waiting in the wings are proposals for:-
850 homes at Fulford Green, Rumbush Lane, and 200 homes land off Dickens Heath Road.
Keith says; "It is realistic that before the end of this year we could have almost 2,000 new homes identified in the previous plan approved and then have the threat of between 1,500 to 2,000 additional homes to consider. It is vital a Masterplan for these communities is established before these speculative applications are considered. This must mean we delay determining new applications until our new local plan is produced."
Keith asks residents to support his petition calling for a moratorium on these speculative planning applications which could destroy the fabric of our village communities.
Keith will present the petition to Solihull Council. If you would like to support the petition please use this link: https://chng.it/Cws4PMgXKB
