Representation Summary:

The Local Plan has been prepared without consideration of the wider needs of the community in terms of appropriate allocation of land for sustainable employment provision closer to growth communities, provision of adequate land in appropriate locations for religious, cultural and social facilities, adequate positive protection for significant listed buildings and provision of country parks to redress the balance of loss of Green Belt land for housing and employment.

Change suggested by respondent:

Provision of employment land should be made in Knowle and Balsall Common, sites should be allocated in the urban area for expanding religious, social and cultural facilities, and Country Park should be allocated on land around the Berkswell Windmill and around the fringe of Solihull Town Centre at the Berry Hall estate or Council and at Widney Manor Road.
