Consultation on Solihull Draft Local Plan

I attended the meeting of the KDBH Neighbourhood Forum on 13/2/17 and fully endorse the Forum's response to the Solihull draft local plan. In particular the number of new houses proposed for the area of KD and BH is disproportionate in terms of the housing needs and has not taken account of the impact on the local infrastructure and environment. I have lived in Knowle for over 20 years and have been disappointed in the way the council have allowed developers to build additional housing with little consideration for the community as a whole. This is an opportunity to do things in a more considered way for the benefits of the whole community.

I accept that some new houses will need to be built to meet local and national targets but I would urge you to reconsider the overall numbers proposed for KD and BH in the plan and to also to consider the improvements needed in terms of local infrastructure and the overall environment.

Best Regards
