Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 8237
Received: 14/03/2019
Respondent: Mr Paul Guggiari
There is a disproportional amount of houses allocated for Shirley South (38% of Solihull's allocation).
With the advent of HS2 Shirley South is one of the furthest areas from it and will therefore contribute greatly to travel congestion.
Shirley does not have a vast amount of parkland, which whilst it is on the edge of the green belt has masked this. Once a conurbation is built on this green belt the lack of green space in Shirley will become more evident.
When Site 13 was removed it should of been replaced elsewhere in the borough not with Site 26.
