Representation ID: 8656

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Andrew Moore

Representation Summary:

This is over development with no plans for increased road traffic and congestion that will be created by 2 new schools and circa 1200 new homes, Knowle and its High Street are a conservation area that can barely cope with the traffic currently let alone the increase in construction traffic and subsequent traffic created.
Smaller sites spread throughout the Borough have less impact on areas and communities.Also situated along side the motorway corridors which have not been developed yet will help road congestion. Knowle, Dorridge and BH have more car use than other areas due to lack of public transport.
