Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8043

Received: 13/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Jill Hillman

Representation Summary:

Site No. 207 Smiths Lane/Widney Manor Road and other alternative sites in the gap between Knowle & Solihull and around the M42. This would be preferable to proposed sites in Knowle. Access for transport links and the M42 motorway would be easier and have a less damaging effect on the infrastructure, congestion of Knowle/Dorridge village, car parking, dr's and dentist surgeries, nursery and school places. Give consideration to smaller dispersed sites that would not have such huge impact on heritage and infrastructure of existing residential areas. These could be built a lot quicker and be better for future occupiers.

Site No. 207 Smiths Lane/Widney Manor Road - this would be more accessible sustainable than the Arden Triangle in terms of access to Solihull and the Motorway. It is not so congested as Knowle & Dorridge which would take away the problem of traffic south of the Motorway getting through Knowle High Street and Warwick Road. Also for consideration more smaller dispersed sites that would not have such huge impact on the heritage and infrastructure of existing residential areas. These could be built a lot quicker and be better for the people that live in these smaller communities.
Use alternative sites in the gap between Knowle & Solihull which would be preferable to both of the major proposed sites to the north and south of Knowle Centre. Access for transport links and the M42 motorway would be far easier and have a less damaging effect on the infrastructure, congestion of Knowle/Dorridge village, car parking, dr's and dentist surgeries, nursery and school places in the Knowle & Dorridge community. Red site 207 would be better option aswell areas north of Knowle around the M42 would give clear access to transport & commuter routes out without affecting Knowle Dorridge.
