Respondent: Kinver Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group

All 3 sites proposed for Kinver are part of the setting and character of Kinver and Kinver Edge. Their destruction is unnecessary and pointless. Alternatives exist and should be explored. We would be happy to discuss these with South Staffs council.

Site 274 has exceptionally high wildlife, community and landscape value, is adjacent to Kinver Edge and hosts the Staffordshire Way. Site 272 and site 576 are both in Green Belt, and exceptional circumstances for removal from Green Belt have not been proved. Both invite further urban sprawl, in breach of NPPF, and have other problems.
