Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 10984

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Jukes

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Additional housing is not required in hockley heath. There is a good range of affordable housing already available.

School road in particular struggles with the volume of traffic around school time and is heavily congested already.

The plan is not justified as the land opposite school road is flood land and home to many species of wildlife including bats. The animals currently on the land provide much joy to the village.

The little green belt left in the village itself is rapidly being selected to be built on leaving almost no open green land in the village.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove the land opposite school road from the plan.

Please keep some open green land within the village.
