Respondent: Richard Cobb Planning

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Under Challenge J the Local Plan should also include the need to allocate land to accommodate facilities for the spiritual needs of the Community. Many expanding religious groups are desperate to find suitable sites that can accommodate their needs to serve their congregation and the wider community which they also serve in support of Solihull Council.

Land is not allocated or available in the Local Plan as most land is allocated for housing without proper thought as to what makes up a balanced community.

Change suggested by respondent:

The Local Plan should make provision for land for expanding religious, social and cultural facilities
