Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 691

Received: 05/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Roger Cook

Representation Summary:

Chapter 99 - where is the balance between dispersed and concentrated housing development in Knowle. There is none - it has been concentrated solely on two sites. However, even dispersed development is not acceptable as it will still create additional pressure in Knowle and Dorridge which cannot support the increase in residents, housing and infrastructure.

Chapter 102 - point 2 the development of significant housing will completely go against the objective stated in that it would result in a disproportionate addition to a settlement that only has a limited range of facilities.

Also being proposed on Green Belt land.
