Para 55 does not explain the characteristics that make the Borough special and attractive to investment.

In relation to para 59- the extent to which other land is required for green belt release is unclear. Solihull does not put great value in the Green Belt, other options exist for housing at Arden Cross, Solihull Town Centre and Chelmsley Wood Town Centre.

The terminology used at para 64 should be ‘unbalanced dispersal’ rather than ‘balanced dispersal’ due to the disproportionate amount of development being located in the Shirley/ Blythe area and Balsall Common/ Berkswell conurbation.

Para 66 bullet point 2- opportunities for achieving accessibility and delivering public transport improvements are less with urban extensions.

Para 70 Spatial Strategy – the locator is inaccurate as Dorridge is not identified for significant expansion
