Policy SHW4 – Open Space and Recreation

Representation ID: 1372

Received: 05/11/2024

Respondent: Mr GARETH DAVID SMITH

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I am writing to raise concerns over policy SHW4 and how it impacts our reservoir site at Harborne Road, which has been allocated as open space in the draft plan. This is a secure, operational site with no public access and should not be designated as open space within the plan. We have plans to invest in this site to ensure provision of water for our customers, and of course the restrictions of this intended policy do appear to conflict with the site and those plans for investment and our ongoing operations.

Change suggested by respondent:

Our site at Harborne Road should not be allocated as open space i.e. this policy should not apply to this site.
