SG24 cannot proceed as a strategic growth location in its current format. We recognise that Hockley Heath has some facilities and can take on a small level of growth; however, many of the plans, policies and frameworks have not been reviewed in enough detail or been applied correctly. The unsustainable overdevelopment proposed under SG24 would irreparably damage Hockley Heath’s character, environment, infrastructure, and quality of life. It fails to demonstrate exceptional circumstances for Green Belt release, ignores significant viable alternatives and lacks the essential infrastructure planning required for sustainable development.
Crucially, although the development falls within South Warwickshire, the burden of the newly-required infrastructure will fall to Solihull who have already opposed such development, deeming Hockley Heath unsuitable for such growth. This is clearly unfair and will likely lead to costly disputes between Councils in the future.
