Duty to co-operate? Yes
A 12% increase in homes in a small village is excessive especially as it breaches the Green Belt. I note plans to address traffic along School Road and regular flooding but given past inaction on these issues, why should these be trusted now? There is no reference to any plans by Warwickshire Council - new houses have recently been built along Aylesbury Road and those residents undoubtedly use Hockley Heath facilities. There are persistent rumours locally of further developments off that Road.
Priority must be given to redeveloping brownfield sites in the Borough over breaches of the Green Belt. Solihull Council should be seeking the plans of Warwickshire to ensure a holistic approach to the area.
