Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10950

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Mr Neil Gavin

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This is a flood risk area and development here will increase the severity and occurrence of these events. There will be increased traffic around the area especially Damson Lane which is already a rat run for people trying to avoid the traffic on Damson Parkway during peak times.
The development is near residential areas with more housing developments planned which will also lead to increased traffic parking and local unrest. I disagree that there will be improvements to the Green Belt because developments such as this only reduce the amount of Green Belt land.

Change suggested by respondent:

Develop the existing site at Bickenhill which is away from residential areas and serviced by an A road. Improve road access to the site and manage user traffic with a workable booking system.
