There is nothing about sustaining or promoting architectural excellence. The quality of the built environment will become ever more important as the volume of it increases. The plan shows that landmark buildings (e.g. the TRW building) will be demolished - there is nothing to suggest that architectural merit will be a consideration in any form for its replacement. The Parkgate development suggests that Solihull is happy to promote profit at the expense of any kind of distinctive architecture.
