I am perplexed at the housing number proposed in Knowle Dorridge and Bentley Heath ,and in fact the Borough .
As a result of " duty to cooperate " with neighbouring Birmingham Solihull is allowing itself to be bullied into providing more overspill housing .
It is now recognised that the projected housing requirement nationally is incorrect and less than originally envisaged see the National Office Of Statistics reduction of national number reduced to 248000 from 300000 . The 300000 per annum being the number the Government / James Brokenshire keeps banging on about ,it's a much higher number than is necessary.
Birmingham for their part have reduced the actual number on their housing list significantly and you are not recognising this . I have dicussed this at length with officers in Birmingham .
Please explain why Bromsgrove escapes the " duty to cooperate " . Could it be something to do with who represents them in Parliament ?

The local plan is a complete ignorance of local infrastructure . Arden School has 1500 places in 1-5th years and is at capacity It Can't take 1800 .No new secondary school,capacity envisaged !
The Station current car parking can not cope .NO PLan to alleviate this .
Public transport is not properly assessed in your "plan "

The Doctors are overwhelmed .NO Plan to alleviate this .
In adequate schooling at junior and infant levels . Not thought out !
3 exits onto Warwick road from the proposed Arden Triangle development will relieve Station Road says you document - who thought that one out ? It is completely unrealistic. The A41 through Knowle is the busiest trunk road through a village in the country .See pervious surveys ,only Canned when the M42 was built .

The overdevelopment of Knowle with Hampton Road will create an enormous traffic jam at rush hour times with no consideration of the extra traffic caused by the envisaged developments .

There has been no assessment of the extra load being imposed on M42 by the developments that will inevitably feed onto the motorway ,let alone the possibilities caused by Arden Cross and HS2 .
