Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 2113

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: ALDI Stores Ltd

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

Only one of the six proposed Solihull Town Centre Masterplan Opportunity Sites allows any opportunity to accommodate retail development.
It is important that the Local Plan allows sufficient flexibility for new retail investment to come forward on appropriate town centre sites.
The Homer Road Civic Buildings site is well linked to Touchwood and would make a logical extension to the primary shopping area.
Suggest the plan is amended to recognise that the two sites comprising the Homer Road Civic Buildings could come forward separately and that the former Magistrates Court site is identified as being suitable for a discount foodstore.
