Hancock Town Planning Ltd acts for the Umberslade Estate which owns land at Butts Lane, Tanworth-in-Arden.
We have reviewed the assessment of the site as set out in the Councils' HELAA and note that a very high constraint score of 16 is awarded on the grounds that the land lies outside defined 'Spatial Growth Strategy Priority Areas'. However, given that the site lies within a defined service centre village effectively 'sandwiched' between two proposed new settlements - A1 and A2 - we consider that it is unrealistic to consider the site as being poorly related to strategic growth priorities.
Therefore, the land at Butts Lane should be identified as forming part of new settlement A2, and / or identified as being suitable for residential development in its own right.
