Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1740

Respondent: Mrs Jennie Lunt
The plan is silent on infrastructure improvements to support approved developments in Hockley Heath, including current lack of transport infrastructure and facilities and the likely impact upon them from existing and proposed developments and growth near to village, and the impact on educational facilities, which is not satisfactorily addressed given the forecast household growth in the plan.
As Hockley Heath is not included within the plan there are no details of proposed improvements to infrastructure. At a recent community event there was significant concern over the current lack of transport infrastructure and facilities and the likely impact upon them from;
* Existing and proposed developments within Hockley Heath
* Neighbouring developments, in particular Blythe Valley
* Developments across the Warwickshire border
* Promoting Quality of Place
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).
