We are broadly in agreement with the infrastructure requirements identified for Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath. It is of note that our clients land at Golden End is well placed to help contribute towards many of these infrastructure requirements including the following:
- Provision of affordable housing, including starter homes;
- Provision of housing for the elderly;
- Provision of additional parking for Knowle Primary School (thus relieving existing congestion on Kixley Lane and provide additional village parking);
- Potential improvements to highway junction capacity at Kenilworth Road/High Street;
- Provision of additional playing fields and public open space (some 6 hectares are proposed as part of our clients proposals); and
- Provision of pedestrian links to the canal network.
