Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1493

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Keith Tindall

Representation Summary:

Unlike other areas of the borough none of the proposed sites in Balsall Common/Berkswell fulfil the criteria set out in policy 7. All will be heavily car dependent, and do not encourage sustainable travel. Poor rail and bus connectivity means the public transport accessibility is inadequate for the three sites proposed. Policy P8 indicates SMBC are unlikely support these developments sites in such circumstances, and therefore they should all be withdrawn from the Local Plan.
