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 Minton 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 Oak Farm Catherine de Barnes 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 full Oak Farm site should be an
allocation within the Local Plan. We have also carried out our own Green Belt
Assessment a copy of which is attached
