Too many houses in relation to size of Knowle - will overload roads, retail, parking, medical.
Plan based on aspirations of 2 organisations- little primary evaluation of community need.
Site too far from Dorridge Station - leads to pollution, congestion and parking issues.
Siting of School not central to B93 - difficulty of access from Dorridge and Bentley Heath.
Site is 'wrong' side of Knowle - traffic for M42 and Birmingham has to go through Knowle centre.
Affordable housing is all together - issues of social inclusion and quality of environment.
Financial and viability issues problematic.
