Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10971

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Mr Neill Jongman

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I believe that the plans are being pushed through with haste, undercover of a global pandemic. I believe that the Shirley region has an unfair number of the allocation of houses. There is also a considerable number of retirement properties. I would like a priority to be placed on affordable houses - so the young people of the area can continue to live where they grew up. An increasing elderly population can put pressure on local services. There are also major environmental concerns with these plans.
I worry that the major beneficiary of this plan appears to be the developers.

Change suggested by respondent:

I would like to see these proposals incorporated into the plan.
The Regeneration of Chelmsley Wood
Making good use of the HS2 interchange site for housing
Prioritise the Solihull Town Centre Masterplan.
