Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8322

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Bernard James McGillion

Representation Summary:

Proposed density is too high (46 dwellings per ha.) and would be out of character for the area.
Reduction in outdoor spaces will not lead to improved quality of life for residents
Already traffic problems in Shirley - so a major concern with proposed development
Air quality problems associated with increased traffic not in line with Clean Air Policy and Solihull Council policies.
Proposed removal of 200 trees on the site (most of which are mature trees) and associated detrimental impact on air quality.
Ground water problems. Residents of Blackford Road already have flooding issues. Current measures in Dickens Heath haven't worked.
High density living requires associated infrastructure and there is no regard to this in the plan!
