Representation Summary:

Para 42 of the plan does not recognise the importance of health for inclusive growth.

Borough Vision Overview – it is unclear how the HS2 Interchange will be integrated into green infrastructure.

Borough Vision Overview –concerns with overdevelopment of retirement living and care homes in Shirley impacting the character and identity of the area.

In relation to para 48 there is a risk of the M42 corridor ‘overheating’ in terms of economic growth.

At para 48 it is unclear what is meant by undermining the qualities that make the Borough attractive to people and investment. Losing significant Green Belt land as proposed would undermine the qualities, therefore it is inconsistent.

In relation to para 49- the current consultation process does not provide confidence that local communities will have greater involvement.

Para 50 references retaining the strategic Meriden Gap, however this is not fully explained as development is proposed in the Gap.
