Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 5576
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Arden Cross Consortium
Agent: Turley
The Employment Land Review (ELR) fell within the consultation period. While it is assumed that this evidence informed the draft Plan, the justification for Policy P3 is currently limited.
The recommendations of the study have yet to be translated into the Draft Plan.
Consequently, draft Policy P3 provides insufficient certainty over the level of economic growth needed within the Borough, including in response to the arrival of HS2.
The ELR's recognition of the significant potential for economic development and job creation at Arden Cross needs to be specifically referenced and justified by Policy P3.
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).
