Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020

Representation ID: 14376

Received: 07/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Christine Spriggs

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The original consultation represented a significantly smaller number of properties and was much less invasive upon the local amenities. Although each individual piece of Green Belt land may be small, this plan fails to take account of the accumulated impact of the overall representations.

The implications of increased traffic and pollution have not been considered. With the planned increase of land to be given to Jaguar Land Rover and the New Waste site, the increase of 700 houses in this area will lead to a huge amount of vehicular traffic, in particular that of large vehicles, and the increase in pollution, both of air quality and noise, have not been taken into consideration.

Consultation has been minimal and limited to only a few properties, whilst the impact is going to be significant on a much wider basis.

Change suggested by respondent:

Much wider consultation needs to take place.

A co-ordinated consideration must be given to the environmental impact of this and nearby suggestions.

A much smaller number of perperties would have less physical impact, and this section of the plan needs to be amended.
