Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: William Davis Ltd

Agent: Define Planning & Design

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Support the principle of the approach taken in relation to the UK Central Solihull Hub Area and development adjacent to the HS2 hub.

The Council are heavily reliant on timely delivery from these larger sites however there is uncertainty. The length of the total development process increases with site size. The rate of delivery is wholly unrealistic at the NEC as commencement would not begin until approximately 2030. At Arden Cross, the situation is complex and dependent upon the delivery of HS2. Inefficient delivery of transport and utilities infrastructure represents a significant constraint to delivery.

Change suggested by respondent:

Additional housing allocations at small to medium sites, such as ‘Land off Old Station Road’, would provide a ‘buffer’ and mitigate against the risk of stalled delivery at larger sites.
