TWO marina plans for Knowle were rejected by councillors tonight.
The bids for Stripes Hill Farm off the Warwick Road and another for land off Jacobean Lane was thrown out by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council's planning committee.
Officers recommended the former be approved and the latter rejected. Both were seeking 'special cicumstances' permission to cut marinas into the Green Belt.
Meriden MP Caroline Spelman said today: “I am delighted that these applications have been rejected as I do not believe that they constitute the ‘special circumstances’ in which Green Belt land should undergo development.”
Another bid for Hockley Heath is being considered by Warwick District Council.
