To remove land from the Green Belt at Kings Hill and allocate it primarily for: residential development with the potential for some employment land, land for secondary school provision, primary schools, local centre, community facilities, health centre and new rail station would inevitably have an impact on the level of policing which could be provided without commensurate investment in, and provision of, infrastructure to maintain the quality of service expected.
As currently drafted, proposed modified policy DS15 does not make explicit reference to the inevitable impact of the development on the quality and effectiveness of police infrastructure which will arise from the proposed growth and the need for additional police infrastructure.Without
planning polices to require appropriate investment and provision of necessary police infrastructure, the Chief Constable for West Midlands Police believes that the objectives of the NPPF will not be met and for these reasons, Policy DS15 is unsound.
