Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7578

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Francis Ryan

Representation Summary:

It is possible that Oak Farm could be considered for development but not as Residential.
the existing infrastructure is totally inadequate to support Residential development and would completely compromise existing facilities and any notable increase in traffic would only add to the already heavily congested scenario currently experienced, particularly on Hampton Lane.
This site was rejected within the 2012 SHLAA for specific reasons which remain unchanged today.
'Natural' villages such as Catherine De Barnes, part of Solihull's distinct character, rely heavily on Green Belt status protection and development proposals of this nature will erode and destroy that valued character.
