Representation ID: 10829

Received: 13/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Victoria Wheelhouse

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This will create significant traffic problems in Knowle as only way in from Solihull and M42 is Warwick Road. Density of housing is far higher than existing density. Knowle attracts families because of good schools.
Scale of development is far too high.
Current Arden School location is good for pupils, but is so rundown, it does need rebuilding.
Building a bigger school also increases traffic problems due to children coming from outside the area.
Not safe for the children to get to school with the increase in traffic.
Existing facilities such as doctors insufficient for level of housing

Change suggested by respondent:

Needs expert traffic consultation
Significant reduction in density
Protection of traditional and green space
Safe journey to school for this many pupils. Current pavements are very narrow and no safe cycling route
