Land off Hyde Lane (west) (Housing Allocation 576)

We continue to support the principle of the proposed release of land at Hyde Lane (west) from the Green Belt and allocation for housing growth. The Council’s evidence base is clear it performs better than other options at Kinver.
The southern and western edges of Kinver are significantly constrained by the Canal Conservation Area; Kinver Hillfort scheduled ancient monument and the Rock houses, as well as Flood Zones 2 and 3. Land to the north west is constrained by highway capacity and access. In this context, land west of Hyde Lane (as well as land to the east of Dunsley Drive) represents a sustainable location for accommodating future growth
in Kinver village.
The increase in the minimum housing allocation to 44 homes and the associated amended allocation boundary is welcomed, it reflects Option 3 of the Vision Document.
Bellway also support the provision of green infrastructure to the east, which will allow the provision of new open space, biodiversity enhancements and Green Belt
compensatory improvements.
