The land which is the subject of this response to the Call for Sites is in a single ownership can be developed in its own right to round off existing development and provide Green Belt boundaries which will endure - see plans 19-1778/L, 01 attached. However it could also form part of a strategic land release south of Daw End on land bounded by A461 Lichfield Road, King George Crescent, Daw End Branch Canal and railway line to deliver growth by way of a new Regeneration Corridor which would: * provide a significant number of much needed new market & affordable homes * support the use & development of local services * enable the rationalisation & enhancement of playing fields & other formal & informal recreational provision * facilitate improvement to schools & community facilities * enhance local ecology & biodiversity Such a development strategy would not prejudice the character or function of the wider Green Belt as a substantial east-west corridor of open land would be retained, and would establish clear & defensible boundaries using physical features that are readily recognisable and likely to be permanent in line with national planning policy.
