Alternative sites between Knowle & Solihull would be much preferable to both the major proposed sites to the north and south of Knowle centre. Access to the M42, transport links, and employment areas would be significantly superior and have a much less damaging, effect upon transport, congestion, parking & the quality of life for existing residents in Knowle & Dorridge. An example being, the "Red" site ref 207 (land bounded by Browns Lane, Smiths Lane & Widney Manor Road) being much more suitable than the land south of Knowle - this would avoid unnecessary intrusion into the Green belt.
