Comment

Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7413

Received: 11/03/2019

Respondent: Steven Lyle

Representation Summary:

Why are developments currently focused on Knowle rather than being spread more evenly across the wider KDBH area? There are many proposed sites to the SW of Dorridge (29, 127, 199, 210 & 247) and NW of Bentley Heath (3, 72, 88, 108, 207 & 419). Were some of these to be developed they would potentially a) result in at least some of the additional traffic moving westwards and northwards out of the KDBH area, thereby taking some of the pressure off Knowle and b) give new residents a shorter and easier route to city rail links via Dorridge Station.
