Solihull Local Plans
UK CENTRAL HUB UK 2 section 105 and 831
I would like to register my objection to the Solihull Plans to potentially relocate the HWRC to Damson Parkway.
I have lived just off Damson Lane for 34 years and have been dismayed at the increase in traffic we have experienced in that time as well as the way JLR keeps adding to their already extensive site and taking over green belt as they do, making it feel as if we live in the middle of a factory. The local roads are really very busy in all directions at Shift changeover times along with the large lorries going to and from JLR. The new logistics centre has necessitated changes to the local roads and with a multi storey car park as part of the scheme I dread to think how busy that stretch will become at certain times of day.
It is a pleasant residential area with many families living here, two schools and two parks. We chose to live here for those amenities and wish it to stay that way and not feel part of a more urban landscape.
Damson Parkway is not at all suitable to relocate the Tip. In its current position it attracts long queues but is not near any residential areas so works well. To add to our already very busy roads is a great mistake and I hope that other sites will be found to be far more appropriate.
