Better public transport needed. Any increase in traffic through the High Street is concern due to pollution, potential damage to historic buildings. Re site 9, unclear how additional traffic will be accommodated. New primary school and affordable housing are needed but not at expense of all greenbelt flagged in site 9 -must there be so much new housing in Knowle on greenbelt as opposed to elsewhere? Loss of natural habitat is major concern. Prefer redeveloping Knowle precinct as brownfield mixed use site (similar to Sainsburys in Dorridge) given so many vacant units. This would reduce need for building on greenbelt.
