Unfortunately I do not consider that you have identified the infrastructure required to support the proposed housing development in Area 9 - Knowle. The current infrastructure is already stretched and I am unable to identify anything in the plan that gives me any confidence that the increased infrastructure requirements can be met. The access to Knowle and Dorridge is already highly congested in the mornings and evenings and adding a further 1,050 is going to aggravate an already strained infrastructure beyond breaking point. The village was never 'designed' to cater for such a level of increased housing.

There is already inadequate parking facilities for shoppers and also for commuters wanting to use the rail facility at Dorridge.
