Representation ID: 1722

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Dr Linda Parsons

Representation Summary:

Knowle village should not be included.1050 homes is 6.8% of new homes total and 17% of new site allocation. This is wholly inappropriate for a village location. The influx of 2000+ more people into the village centre conservation area with their cars would ruin the village irreversibly. Intrusion into the Green Belt is unacceptable. There are already built on areas in Solihull centre which could have change of use from commercial these should be used first. This is not sympathetic expansion of rural villages as quoted earlier in the document.
