Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10828

Received: 13/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Victoria Wheelhouse

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The plan does not consider the impact on the traffic congestion that would be caused entering Knowle.
The number of houses and the density is significantly higher.
Another retirement village is a terrible idea. These properties are springing up all over Solihull, very high density, they are difficult to sell on and I don’t think these are a good option many elderly people.
I don’t think this plan benefits the current residents of Knowle.
The football club should be saved as it is of huge benefit to the local children. It is central to the village people can walk there.

Change suggested by respondent:

Family homes, green space, sports facilities all central.
Traffic survey and measures
No retirement village
Significantly reduced density to minimise risk of infections spreading
