Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8443

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Councillor M Wilson

Representation Summary:

Whilst I do understand the infrastructure requirements for Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath, I do also note the absence of any plans to provide social housing in this area. There are less than 10,000 social housing units in the Borough, most are in the 4 of the Northern Wards (3 being the Regen wars), Shirley and Elmdon. For inclusive growth and community cohesion across the Borough, it must be considered to spread the social housing stock across the whole of Solihull.
