SG24 Must Be Removed from the SWLP
SG24 is an inappropriate strategic growth allocation that should not proceed. While Hockley Heath can accommodate limited, well-planned growth, the scale and location of SG24 are wholly unsuitable. The proposal:
• Conflicts with the Solihull Local Plan, which has determined that only small-scale development is appropriate.
• Fails to justify Green Belt release, lacking exceptional circumstances and failing to assess alternatives.
• Overburdens infrastructure, with no clear funding strategy for essential improvements.
• Causes unacceptable environmental harm, including biodiversity loss and increased pollution.
• Lacks employment opportunities, exacerbating unsustainable commuting patterns.
Warwick District and Stratford-on-Avon District Councils have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure development is genuinely sustainable and delivered in the most appropriate locations. SG24 does not meet these criteria and must be removed from the SWLP in favour of better-performing, more suitable sites.
