Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1618
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Hockley Heath Parish Council
As Hockley Heath is not identified for development there are no details of proposed improvements to infrastructure. At a recent community event there was significant concern about the lack of transport infrastructure and facilities and the likely impact of developments within Hockley Heath and neighbouring developments, in particular Blythe Valley, and the lack of policy references to the impact of growth on education provision across Solihull, and specifically the Rural Area surrounding Hockley Heath. Poor quality roads, regularly affected by traffic congestion on local motorways (M42/M40) would be further affected with additional developments resulting in an increase in traffic.

Also of concern is the lack of policy references relating to the impact of the Local Plan on education provision across Solihull, and specifically in the Rural Area surrounding Hockley Heath (e.g. mitigating the impact of BVP).
