Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 6406

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Adam Weber

Representation Summary:

In relation to Site 4:
Council has not fully examined the infrastructure requirements.
Existing congestion through Dickens heath and surrounding roads. Used as rat runs.
Parking shortage in Village.
Would create substantial car traffic, along with other proposals.
Major road improvements would be necessary - not a sustainable location.
Rail service from Whitlocks End only goes to Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon; not Solihull Town Centre.
Town centre poorly accessible on bus.
No direct road/cycleway to village centre. Cycle and pedestrian access to the village centre was a core principle of original masterplan. Proposal would be too large for that.

I would like to state for the record, my strong objection to the proposal for 700 new dwellings on Site Allocation 4 (west of Dickens Heath) in the Solihull Local Plan Review.
