Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Respondent: Stonewater
Agent: DS Planning
Until the masterplan for site 26 is finalised the issue of coalescence with Majors Green will remain. Until traffic surveys and analysis of the A34 and surrounding roads are completed it is impossible to suggest that Bills Lane/Haslucks Green Road would be any more or less congested than Dickens Heath Road. Dickens Heath Road provides a less onerous, less convoluted and safer route to the A34, the town centres of Shirley and Solihull, the M42 and beyond. Bills Lane and Haslucks Green Road will have to deal with traffic from site 4 as well as its own.
This is the response of Stonewater to the supplementary consultation by Solihull
Council on the Solihull Draft Local Plan January 2019. The purpose of the response is
to comment the draft Plan and promote the site at the Firs Maxstoke Lane (west of
Meriden proposed allocation site 10) for inclusion as a housing allocation within the
Plan. The response is by question order.
The original response to the Solihull Draft Local Plan 2016 consultation is also
attached which highlights the reasons why the site should be an allocation within the
Local Plan (Site Ref 137).
