I feel too many new houses are proposed for Knowle and Site 9 in particular is very large. I would prefer to see any new housing divided more equally with Dorridge and Bentley Heath. If this level of housing is genuinely needed, then I would support Site 9 but only if the redevelopment of Arden Academy forms part of the overall plan. The school is in need of significant works and this appears to be the only way to achieve them. I would object to development of Site 9 without a new school being built as part of it.
