Land west of Hyde Lane, Kinver
A site location plan is included at Appendix 2 and will provide between 45 and 200 dwellings, public open space, and associated infrastructure. It was previously proposed for allocation for 44 new homes in the 2022 Publication Plan. The site can provide up to 200 dwellings and is therefore capable of making a greater contribution to the housing needs given the anticipated rates of delivery on strategic sites are ambitious.
The Council’s evidence is clear this site performs better than other options at Kinver. Further details on the site and surrounding area can be found in paragraphs 3.28-3.31 of the full representation.

A site location plan is included at Appendix 4 and will provide up to 36 dwellings, public open space, and associated infrastructure. Further details on the site and surrounding area can be found in paragraphs 3.38 – 3.43 of the full representation. The capacity at White Hill should be reduced or deleted completely, and Dunsley Drive and/or Hyde Lane added into the policy.

Land south of White Hill, Kinver
Bellway has concerns regarding the likely impacts of developing this site. Harm to the Kinver Camp Scheduled Monument and landscape are detailed in paragraphs 3.33 – 3.35 of the full representation. Sites at Hyde Lane and Dunsley Drive deliver the same public benefits with less harm to designated heritage assets and will provide a better landscape and visual response.

Land off Orton Lane, Wombourne
We support the continued allocation of the site within the latest Publication Plan. It represents a sustainable and deliverable residential opportunity with a live full planning application being assessed. We will continue to work with St Philips to ensure the masterplans for both sites are coordinated and capable of working together, including connections between the two sites. Further details of the site can be found in paragraphs 3.16 – 3.22 of the full representation, including breakdown of housing mix etc.

Land west of Strathmore Crescent, Wombourne
Bellway controls additional land beyond Orton Lane which has the potential to deliver an additional 40-50 homes, forming an extension of the proposed allocation off Orton Lane. The small-scale nature of this site represents a suitable and sustainable opportunity for growth at Wombourne, requiring limited Green Belt release. Appendix 6 considers the contribution to the Green Belt and concludes there is limited contribution to the open character of the wider Green Belt. On this basis, the release of the site from the Green Belt would not have a significant impact on the integrity of the Green Belt.

Land off Billy Buns Lane and Gilbert Lane, Wombourne
As set out in Appendix 1, Bellway raised concerns over the inclusion of these sites in the 2022 Publication Plan. Noting that these have now been omitted from the 2024 Publication Plan, we reiterate that land west of Strathmore Crescent is a sustainable and suitable option for development.

Please refer to our previous representations made in December 2022 on this matter at Appendix 1. 2022 Rep – Bellway support the core principle of this policy, however the prescriptive minimum housing requirements may risk providing the wrong type of housing for Kinver residents.

Hyde Lane and Dunsley Drive are unconstrained and would be capable of achieving higher densities than that required by the policy.

The planning application for Orton Lane comprises a proposal for 32 dwellings and was informed by pre-application discussions. The density doesn’t meet the 35 DPH but is considered appropriate for the site.
