- Strongly challenge scale of proposed development in Blythe, Knowle and Balsall Common.
- Disproportionate and not justified by site selection methodology, or consistent with its spatial strategy and objectives
- Proposed site allocations perform poorly against sustainability measures, with adverse effect in these areas.
- In addition to previous comments, we add to this analysis following the updated information in the supporting documentation of the Plan below:
o Strategy fails to link adequately housing distribution to its economic and transport policies. These emphasise growth in accessible corridors inc. A45, A34 and Solihull town centre, as well as the corridor linking the town centre to the A45 hub.
o Spatial strategy does not reflect findings of assessment work, as demonstrated by large scale allocations in Balsall Common, Knowle & Dickens Heath.
