Please find enclosed a response to the recently consulted Solihull Local Plan review from Worcestershire County Council's Children Families and Communities Provision Planning Team.

SOLIHULL LOCAL PLAN REVIEW DECEMBER 2016

Worcestershire County Council's Children Families and Communities Department note the comments in the recently submitted Solihull Local Plan Review December 2016 with regard to the provision of school places, particularly paragraph 407 and 408.

Dickens Heath Primary School is a named feeder primary school to The Woodrush High School. Included in the Local Plan is particular reference to planned housing development of circa 700 dwellings for the Dickens Heath Area that may impact on the neighbouring high school. Worcestershire would wish to be included in consultations at the appropriate time with regard to this or any other particular development, which may come forward during the lifetime of the plan, that may impact on education provision in the neighbouring authority of Worcestershire.
