Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8609

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Brian Hillman

Representation Summary:

Yes I believe that development should be concentrated to the north of Knowle/Dorridge particularly no. 207 Smiths Lane/Widney Manor Road. Other sites in the 'gap' between Knowle & Solihull would give easier access to transport links, M42 and would be far less damaging in the way of transport congestion, parking and the infrastructure and quality of life for existing residents in Knowle & Dorridge and would preserve the Green Belt on the proposed Site 9 and the amber site Ref A5 & Ref 413. The Green Belt should not be down graded for development as it destroys the historic settlement.
