Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 189

Received: 06/01/2017

Respondent: D Hartley

Representation Summary:

Development is a bad idea and will change the setting of this Damsonwood area from mainly rural to the opposite of rural.
Will downgrade our housing area making it like an area surrounded by industry. There is no need to make that negative change.
What has the Council itself done to to clearly tell us about this?

My comment is that the Council's suggestion to describe a large slab of land between the A45 and the Land Rover roundabout (existing) as being for 'preferred options employment' is a really bad idea, it is changing the setting of this Damsonwood area from mainly rural to the opposite of rural.

That is downgrading our housing area making it like an area surrounded by industry. There is no need to make that negative change. I therefore oppose it.

I saw this Plan mentioned in a leaflet today at the Central Library. The local councillors also said something about it on their leaflet that came to our houses. What has the Council itself done to to clearly tell us about this ? - I don't think we even got this leaflet off them ('Reviewing the Plan for Solihull's Future'). You can't assume we all know about this if you haven't told us !!!
