“ENOUGH is enough” those are the words of a Blythe Councillor who has called for masterplan to be drawn up for the area.

Councillor, Keith Green, is calling for a plan to be drawn up for Dickens Heath, Tidbury Green and Cheswick Green before new, and prospective, development applications are determined.

There were three sites included for development in the now withdrawn local plan for the borough,

And with development sites looking set to be determined by the authority’s planning committee this autumn Coun Green is calling for action.

He said: “There are issues with some of these sites so it is essential we establish a masterplan for these communities before looking to determine any new applications.”

Applications to build more than 300 homes in the area have been submitted to the Council.

This includes 200 homes on Arden Green, off Tilehouse Lane, and 110 homes on land west of Rumbush Lane.

In addition, waiting in the wings are proposals for more than 1,000 homes.

Including 850 homes at Fulford Green, Rumbush Lane, and 200 homes land off Dickens Heath Road.

Bloor Homes have submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the 200 homes off Dickens Heath Road.

An EIA is a process used to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of a proposed project or development and helps identify, predict, and mitigate negative environmental impacts before a project is approved.

In the submission Bloor Homes states it wants to build up to 200 homes with vehicular access from Tilehouse Lane, land for school/community use, public open space, drainage, landscape and other associated works.

Coun Green said: “It is realistic that before the end of this year we could have almost 2,000 new homes identified in the previous pan approved and then have the threat of between 1,500 to 2,000 additional homes to consider.

“It is vital a masterplan for these communities is established before these speculative applications are considered. This must mean we delay determining new applications until our new local plan is produced.”

Coun Green has set up a petition calling for a moratorium on these speculative planning applications which could destroy the fabric of the village communities.

So far it has garnered 350 signatures.
