Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10678

Received: 03/12/2020

Respondent: Mr Stuart Holder

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The proposed development of Blythe is totally disproportionate to the Borough as a whole. The area is already under tremendous strain in terms of traffic congestion, education and medical facilities and cannot be expected to shoulder the burden of another 1000 homes and families. Our precious green belt is continually being eroded by developers and I do feel that it would be only a matter of time before the the 'adequate separation' as referred to (para 587) merges into one. I have no confidence in this proposal whatsoever.

Change suggested by respondent:

A more equitable development of the Borough prioritising sites other than those in Green Belt. The term is fast becoming a joke, it would be funny if it were not so serious.
