A plan to merge three leafy local villages into a single town has been backed by residents in a bid to save swathes of countryside, reports Kenilworth Nub News.

The scheme for Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath (KDBH) to be defined as a single settlement was proposed by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council planners as a way of defending the borough’s green belt. Councillors and planning officers stressed the move was purely for ‘planning purposes’ and residents would still live in their self-contained villages….
The proposed changes matter in terms of how green belt and so-called grey belt – lower-quality green belt areas – planning policies are implemented…
