Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Representation ID: 10758
Received: 11/12/2020
Respondent: Mrs Sarah Bloomer
All government/independent studies agree that an allocation of new housing is justified and warranted within this area. It is also clear that:
(1) recent new housing have contributed little in terms of improvement to local facilities; and
(2) the long-term viability of quality learning in Arden Academy is unsustainable on the current site, it being long-overdue for re-development but having no means by which to undertake this work. The school currently far too small for the students.
The proposals outlined in the Concept Masterplan therefore represent a balanced, justified, legally compliant and sound basis on which to meet these needs.
