I recognise that there is a pressing need for further affordable housing. I am strongly supportive of the building of a new Arden Academy in Knowle and support the building of 750 new houses on the old school site. Unfortunately, I missed participating in the Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath Neighbourhood Forum review. I do not agree with their conclusion that, "The scale of 750 houses is not justified by the Council's evidence base: nor is it justified by the need to fund the new Academy. On this basis, the NF objects to the proposed allocation."
