Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10845

Received: 13/12/2020

Respondent: mr Graham Cockroft

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

588. The plan makes unsupported claims about public transport improvements.
The sites are not on an existing public transport desire line, and developments of the size proposed will not lead to new or enhanced services.
589. The plan includes no clear proposals to enhance pedestrian or cycling connectivity. It is vital that these are improved, but we should see the proposals, which would be mainly outside the site boundaries.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove the wording in 588 and 589. Or alter policies BL1 and BL2 to make development conditional upon these sustainable transport improvements being delivered.
