Representation Summary:

The allocation of Sites 463 and 284 are not sound. The NPPF (para 175) requires plans to allocate land with the least environmental or amenity value. There would be significant landscape and visual harm from the sites as identified in the accompanying assessment by ZLA. This also identifies impacts to the Wombourne Conservation Area. Release of the land is considered more detrimental to Green Belt purposes than Site 283 due to the accompanying ZLA assessments. The plan does not address whether the highways works to deliver the site are feasible and deliverable or their affect on viability. Site 283 would require no additional highway works to Bridgnorth Road and it performs better than other proposed allocations around Wombourne.
