Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10691

Received: 07/12/2020

Respondent: Dr Andrew Gosling

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The loss of high quality green belt land including the loss of a natural green belt boundary and the creation of an artificial boundary represents a serious decline in the attraction of the area. The area to the west of the A34 has been ridiculously over developed and before long the whole area will be covered with housing. No proper provision is apparently made for schools, medical facilities and other infrastructure. There are already serious problems with school places. The roads are at saturation point and no consideration has been given to flooding, particularly in Cheswick Green (Mount Brook)

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan is so flawed that it should be abandoned, far too much development has taken place in Blythe.
Where will the residents find work without considerable increase in traffic.
What happened to brown field sites?
