Wholly support the principle of the proposed release of land at Hyde Lane (west), Kinver (site 576) from the Green Belt and allocation for housing growth. The Council’s evidence base is clear it performs better than other options at Kinver.

In response to Q5 we advocate for a more flexible approach to the area of land being proposed for release from the Green Belt and allocated for housing growth.

Whilst Option 3 does represent a site area greater than 1 hectare, the increase is not considered to be so significant as to represent a departure from the plan’s strategy to provide a minimum 10% of smaller sites, and will ultimately deliver a better designed response to creating a new Green Belt edge in this location.
