Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10951

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Mr Gerald Hudson

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The construction of 700 dwellings would completely overwhelm the local infrastructure. Particularly the local roads, which are already congested with JLR traffic and will soon become even more so with the opening of the new JLR logistics centre. Such a development will ruin the feel of the nearby village of Catherine de Barnes. The construction of this site will bring severe noise, pollution and disruption to residents of the Damson Parkway estate.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan should be abandoned and other locations chosen, preferably those that are already established residential areas with supporting infrastructure that would not be overwhelmed by such a large development.
