Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10651

Received: 29/11/2020

Respondent: Mr Adrian Baker

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

In line with Andy street and recent government changes in brownfield developments, I believe Solihull should reconsider building on many areas in the greenbelt especially the Arden Triangle - as since the changes due to Covid and working practices, the local plan may now already be outdated and no longer 'consistent with national policy'

Many more 'reasonable alterative sites' have been proposed by over 2800 residents who voted on the The KDBH Forum Residents Survey., who rejected the Arden Triangle proposal, in favour of less damaging locations for additional development in more sustainable locations.

Change suggested by respondent:

Look at alternative brownfield sites first

If developments must go ahead in parts of Knowle, make sure that any proposal has density numbers in keeping with Knowle and Dorridge

The percentage of affordable housing should not exceed 25%

the mix & size of dwellings should be in keeping with the local current mix
