Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 8379
Received: 14/03/2019
Respondent: Mr Harvey Scriven
Strongly object to Golden End Farm, Kenilworth Road (ref A4)being included.
This goes against government green belt planning policy.
Local infrastructure is already struggling with increased traffic (eg twice in last 6 weeks, gas leaks have been caused on Kenilworth Road due to damage from increased traffic).
Case not made as to why Knowle is expected to take the brunt of development from across the borough. Knowle has poor public transport, a narrow high street and very limited local employment. These do not meet your own criteria for development sites.
Solihull has 1,200 empty homes - please use these first.
