Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 5571
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Arden Cross Consortium
Agent: Turley
The allocation of Arden Cross can significantly contribute to meeting the majority of challenges in the Borough.
Suggest bullet point two of Challenge M should be altered to better reflect the Arden Cross Vision of a mixed use urban quarter that maximises the benefits of the site's current and planned connectivity. This should include the most efficient use of the site for a range of complementary uses that capitalise on the opportunity for investment stimulated by HS2. The "garden village" concept is inappropriate in this context since it would not enable the full potential benefits of HS2 to be captured.
On behalf of our client, the Arden Cross Consortium, please find attached a copy of representations submitted to the public consultation on the Solihull Draft Local Plan Review (November 2016) and Interim Sustainability Appraisal Report (January 2017).
