Representation Summary:

Object to County Highways comments regarding initial concerns on Site 170. A transport strategy has been prepared showing how the M54/M6 link road will release capacity to accommodate new development.

The HESA’s assessment of Site 170’s setting is arbitrary in nature and not robust. The potential to accommodate a stand off of 330m to Moseley Old Hall should be reflected in the assessment. Loss of agricultural land, development within mineral safeguarding areas and coal authority high risk areas, requirements for flood risk assessments should not be recorded as constraints as they would not prevent development. Reference to a large area of TPOs in the centre of the site is erroneous.
