Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7072

Received: 06/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Bob Holtham

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed allocation of further development in Knowle and in particular land in the south of the Arden Triangle which will result in overloading Highways and other infrastructure. The suggestions in this section are superficial and lack any evidence based proposals to overcome them. 'Decking the car park at Dorridge Station' demonstrates the lack of thinking and does not constitute anything like a comprehensive solution.
The concept Masterplans are a 'nice to have' but what weight will they be given as they lack specific detail particularly on highways improvements and traffic management.
