With reference to 287: I would expect that the emissions from cars used by owners of the new, several hundred proposed houses to be built in Knowle would significantly effect air pollution and congestion. The immediate area and main routes into Solihull are already heavily congested for significant periods; the bus services are infrequent, parking at Dorridge Station is insufficient, and the cycle routes become progressively more dangerous the closer to Solihull. I would ask there is a study of the likely emmisions to be undertaken, and that a review of the overall useable, practical alternative transport is undertaken.
