Respondent: Transport for the West Midlands
A number of new allocated housing sites have been proposed including 5,250 new dwellings in the Green Belt. Locations such as Balsall Common, Dickens Heath, Hampton in Arden and Knowle currently have limited public transport and there is a concern that housing development, at these locations, will only add to the current high levels of congestion.
Also, with the wider impacts of HS2 and the regions natural growth, this could further exasperate congestion.
