Representation Summary:

There is opportunity to create a comprehensive sports hub with facilities for a range of sports and fitness centre. Suitable management and operation arrangements would secure guaranteed long-term availability for the public with full and comprehensive opening hours. Such a centre or centres could be secured from the development funding for sites 8 and 9. This will enable Solihull Council to take the lead in masterminding the development of KDBH as a whole rather than the future of the area being determined by the aspirations of two organisations that may put their own development first.
