With the additional 1000 homes to be built in Knowle, Knowle and Dorridge will be larger than Shirley, and so should be included as a separate item within Policy P2. The pretence that Knowle and Dorridge is still a rural area should be abandoned so that a proper plan for the area can be made. Knowle and Dorridge should not be seen only as a place where more and more houses can be placed. The Council is aware of the high level of skills within the Knowle and Dorridge population and this feature should be harnessed, for example through the development of a high-tech business park in the area (possibly in the Brown's Lane area, or adjacent to the proposed new Arden school). This will avoid the need to travel, which would have enormous benefits since many people currently travel to London and Birmingham and beyond to find suitable work. Whilst UK Central will improve the job opportunities, if there are no new transport links then these are likely to be of little benefit to residents of Knowle and Dorridge.
