Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Representation ID: 13982
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: Transport for the West Midlands
- The local plan refers to HS2 growth and significant employment opportunities through UK Central. Yet delivering on high levels of employment growth, relies heavily on good accessibility to jobs, especially for those residents without access to a car in the region, including groups such as the unemployed, those living in more deprived areas and young people.
- Add reference to Local Transport Plan in chapter as this highlights good regional and community connectivity to key employment growth areas, with greater emphasis on the importance of traditional bus services which assist more vulnerable communities together with good walking and cycling measures to connect communities to key opportunities.
- Above will support principles of inclusive growth.
RECOMMENDATION:
- Reference to the emerging Local Transport Plan as well as the Delivery Plan for the region should also be made in the chapter.
